Chang’an Small Restaurant

    <Pregnancy & Childbirth>

    It was the summer of the second year that the Lin couple lived by the Weishui River.

    This time she finally has the meaning of a beauty in the Tang Dynasty. Although she is only five months pregnant, she has already gained a lot of weight.

    Shen Shaoguang pinched the flesh around his waist and pursed his lips unhappily.

    Lin Yan comforted her: "This is also very good." In order to increase the credibility, he added, "The degree of slenderness. I was too thin before, and it hurts to look at it."

    Shen Shaoguang glanced at him with a smile, we Lin Langjun now speak sweet words almost as soon as we open our mouths.

    Although Shen Shaoguang despised his own flesh, he couldn't control his mouth and stomach. Others vomit what they eat when they are pregnant. Shen Shaoguang's stomach can't be empty. Only what he eats will not vomit anything.

    For example, chili.

    Chopped pepper fish, pickled fish, boiled fish; spicy chicken, pickled chicken feet, dry stir-fried spicy chicken; pepper fried meat, pepper fried shrimp, pepper fried sausage... Spicy powder is fine too.

    Shen Shaoguang felt that he was a little depressed during pregnancy because of abnormal hormone secretion in a special period, and wanted to cry a little for a bowl of hot and sour noodles.

      Lin Yan nodded, went to the kitchen in person, took a tray for a long time and brought her a bowl of "hot and sour noodles" for pregnant women in Tang Dynasty.

    The powder is mung bean powder, which is overcooked; the spicy food is cornel and minced garlic, the amount is small, it is better than nothing; only a little vinegar is added, which is slightly sour; no discount...

      Depression during pregnancy.

    Holding her full stomach, she fell on the mat, Shen Shaoguang was happy again.

    Lin Yan looked at her very distressed. Ever since she was pregnant, she has often had trouble sleeping, and was particularly afraid of heat. Although she had a good appetite, there were a lot of things she couldn't eat. I heard that the woman's mood was particularly unstable at this time. Although A Li had a big heart, she sometimes endured it when she wanted to come. Too bad my mother-in-law is gone...

    Lin Yan rubbed her hair.

    Shen Shaoguang looked at him, what happened? Does a dad-to-be also suffer from prenatal depression?

    Shen Shaoguang deliberately teased him: "Langjun, tell me, what did you think at the beginning? Someone pretended to go to give me a mat?"

     "Seeing that you are afraid of heat, I want to give you a collar. I am afraid that you will not accept it, so I decided to do this." Lin Yan was not ashamed to tell the truth.

    "Why don't you send it in the name of grandmother, just like sending a screen before?"

    "A method is used too much, and it will not work."

    Shen Shaoguang laughed.

    "Unfortunately, my Ai is comparable to a prison veteran." Lin Yan smiled. At that time, he thought there would be more grinding, how could he have thought of such a time now.

    Shen Shaoguang was proud: "That's right! At that time, I wisely thought that this matter is 'either traitor or robbery', I thought it was 'robbery', who would have thought..." He glanced at Lin Yan pointedly.

    Lin Yan leaned over and carefully hugged his beloved wife and kissed her red lips, but he didn't dare to do anything else.

    Tired for a while, Shen Shaoguang sat up, "Go, it's rare to come here by the Weishui, let's go out for a walk."

    Lin Yan also sat up, helped her put on a hat to shade her, held her hand, went out the door, and slowly walked towards the Weishui embankment.

    "Lang Jun, eat a little snail, is there any problem?"

    "It's best not to eat such weird things."

    "Where's the eel?"

    "The eel is very warm, you may get dry after eating it."

    "Where's the turtle?"

    Lin Yan couldn't bear it any longer, "Turtle turtles activate blood...Ali, let's drink some crucian carp soup? Today, while you were sleeping, I went to catch a few, and the kitchen had already cooked them. Boil it until it is milky white and milky white, I will serve you hoto with soup, and put some freshly picked green vegetables in the garden."

    Shen Shaoguang nodded: "Alright." Our Langjun's ability to describe eating is almost catching up with me, and when he said it, he thought that the noodle soup with crucian carp was not bad. But I still really want to eat spicy fried snails, soft-shelled turtle stewed chicken, and dried eel! Wait until the baby is born...

    Both Shen Shaoguang and Lin Yan are looking forward to the day of production soon. After the hot summer, the autumn wind finally blows, and after another two months of autumn, the late autumn is finally here. It was a little cold in the morning and evening, and the due date had already arrived, but there was still no movement.

    Lin Yan nervously asked the imperial physician to visit several times. Princess Fuhui and Mrs. Li Xiang also came to see it, and Mrs. Shen Zhi moved in directly.

    After another half a month, Shen Shaoguang was walking in the garden in the morning when he suddenly felt something strange and finally started.

    Shen Shaoguang was still calm, went into the delivery room, changed clothes, ate a bowl of custard to replenish his strength, and occasionally joked with his aunt, but gradually, the pains seemed to be tighter at a time. , she couldn't laugh anymore.

    Lin Yan went to court, got the news, went to ask the imperial doctor in person, and then couldn't wait, he went home by himself.

    The grandmother sat in the hall and looked at the grandson who strode in, "Don't worry, don't worry—"

    Lin Yan clenched his fists and listened outside the door.

    In the house, there were voices of uncle, mother-in-law and mother-in-law talking about working hard, there was the sound of appliances bumping against each other, and there was the sound of water, but there was no sound of Ai.

    Lin Yan's heart is raised, will there be anything wrong with Ai? The woman gave birth, it was extremely painful, and A Li was always charming...

    "A camelina, a camellia—"

    Hearing his voice, Shen Shaoguang suddenly wanted to cry, this bastard, came back!

    Did not hear her answer, Lin Yan's heart sank, and she pushed the door directly in. Mrs. Jiang Tai didn't have time to call him, and the servant girl at the door didn't dare to stop her, so Lin Yan quickly turned around the screen.

    "What are you doing here, Lang?" Mrs. Shen Zhi stopped him.

    Glancing at the half-covered curtains, and the shocking blood in the copper basin, "Ah..."

    "It's fine." Mrs. Shen Zhi said.

    "I'm fine!" Shen Shaoguang groaned.

    Lin Yan breathed a sigh of relief, bowed to Mrs. Shen Zhi, and withdrew.

    Mrs. Jiang Tai shook her head and nodded at him with her finger.

     "Grandma, I'll go outside to meet the imperial doctor."

    Mrs. Jiang Tai nodded.

    The imperial doctor is useless in the end, just after noon, I heard the cry of the child, and the congratulations of the mother came from the room, "Miss, it's a little gentleman."

    Mrs. Jiang Tai recited the Buddha outside, and Lin Yan was the gentleman again.

    He smiled and said to the imperial physician that he had worked so hard, Yan Hui went to thank him in person, and invited Bai Zhuo to have a glass of water and wine at the banquet.

    <Hundreds of Feasts>

      The Hundred Splash Banquet of the Lin family's little master was not too grand, but the people who came were all very valuable. The **** sent a copy over.

    The back house is the Princess Fuhui and the ladies. Shen Shaoguang took the child out and showed it to the ladies. One hundred days later, the stage of the red-skinned fox has passed, the white and chubby, and the parents are good-looking, how can such a child not be cute?

    Older ladies want to hug, and young ladies want to tease, Lin Xiaodalang frowned and looked serious.

    Elder Princess Fuhui laughed and said to Shen Shaoguang, "It's not like you at all."

    Mrs. Li Yue also smiled and said, "It was carved out of the same mold as Aye." She smiled again and said to Mrs. Jiang Tai, "After a few years, I will be a flower-taker again."

    Shen Shaoguang knew that this was the prelude to the cry of the little ancestor, and sure enough, "Wow—"

    Mrs. Li Yue quickly took a photo and returned the child to Shen Shaoguang.

    Shen Shaoguang smiled and said, "He is probably hungry."

    The ladies said in a loud voice, "Go and feed, go and feed, don't be hungry."

    Shen Shaoguang blessed the eldest princess and the elders a little, nodded to several young ladies, and returned to the inner room with his maids and servants.

    One of the young ladies is an old friend of Shen Shaoguang - Qin Wuniang. Although Qin Wuniang got engaged early, because the grandson of Duke Xinyang mourned her grandfather, she got married a little later than Lin Yan and Shen Shaoguang. Thinking about the little baby's frown just now, it really looks like... Thinking back to the past, Qin Wuniang smiled, she was really stupid at that time.

    After the 100 spit feast, the servants and maids packed up the various gifts sent by the guests. Shen Shaoguang looked at the extraordinarily realistic jade monkey ornaments sent by Shao Jie and couldn't help laughing. This is a wish for my son Do you mean so skinny?

    The gift also includes the four sons of the first Wu king, who is now Li Xu, the king of Huainan.

    The case of King Wu was re-trialed, and the court sent people to the south to pick up King Wu's sons - Shiro and Goro are still there. It's a pity that only Goro was found. Li Xu only came to Chang'an this spring.

    Shen Shaoguang met him once, not only because of the relationship between King Wu and the Shen family, but also because of Yu San.

    Shen Shaoguang had already returned the deed to Yu San, but Yu San still lived in Shen's house and helped her manage a lot of things.

    Li Xu's appearance is traditionally good-looking, but she is not as playful as Shen Shaoguang thinks - she always remembers what Princess Yu said about "changing the fish feast".

    Seeing Li Xu, three eyes instantly burst into light, and then it was the virtue of "Who are you? Who am I? Who loves whom".

    Shen Shaoguang left a place for them to reminisce. Walking to the door, I heard faint voices in the room.

    "Ancestor, I have found you. I really think you were taken to the city." Li Xu's voice.

    "You believe this too? Bird head? No, I mean my bird head..."

    Shen Shaoguang smiled, that's all, it's all doom.

    After a while, the Lin family received a belated gift.

    It was sent by Cui Jing, the master of Cui Shangshu. Lin Yan had nothing to hide from Shen Shaoguang, and showed her the letter.

    "...A visitor from Beijing came to Beijing, and received a handwritten letter from my brother. I learned about Lin'er, and my brother was very happy... My brother has an inkstone, which was given by Mr. Suyuan in the past. Although it is not a famous inkstone of the previous dynasty, it is a Great Confucian legacy, gift to Xiao Langjun..." The first-hand Wei Stele is simple and simple, and it is very good. The letter lavished on several pages, talking about his own situation, and also asking about Lin Yan's situation, which is a very common thing, it can be seen that Lin Yan is indeed a very close friend.

    Seeing that Cui Jing said "remains" in the letter, Shen Shaoguang remembered what Lin Yan had said about the rescue of Cui Shangshu's family.

    At that time, Cui Shangshu was sentenced to two years in prison for his poem "rebuking Chengyu" ②, and his son was imprisoned for one year. Because Lin Yan and several relatives and friends of Cui's family were actively running, Chen Xiang, who has always been prudent and protective, was moved by compassion and interceded in front of the emperor. Cui Shangshu and his son changed the sentence to Pingzhou, which is closer. I also heard that Cui Jingzheng was suffering from malaria at the time, so it was postponed, otherwise he would lose his life if he couldn't get a place. It didn't take long for the previous emperor to collapse, and today he succeeded to the throne with amnesty, and Cui Jing was able to return to his original home.

      Shen Shaoguang remembered that the uncle of the Chu family commented on Lin Yan: "Looking deserted, he is affectionate and righteous."

    Shen Shaoguang returned the letter to Lin Yan and said with a smile, "In the future, I will tell the stinky boy to use it carefully, and don't waste good things."

    Lin Yan smiled, "If it breaks, spank him."

    <Aye returning from a business trip>

    Lin Xiaodalang finally got a big name when he was three years old, called Changling. Shen Shaoguang was a little surprised by the name. She thought that Lin Yan had to have expectations for her child from De Yuxing. Who would have thought that she would be so simple and only wish him a long and safe life.

    Unfortunately, Lin Changling got his name not long ago, his father changed his post as Minister of Punishment, and he went to Jiangnan as an emissary for over a year.

    Lin Changling is a pretty boy who doesn't usually talk much, but occasionally talks a lot.

    Shen Shaoguang found that he was very imaginative. When he saw a bunch of ants carrying a fat bug, he guessed that there were soldiers and generals, and there were enemies and me. This made Shen Shaoguang quite gratified. He felt that his genetics were good. Even if the child couldn't do anything else in the future, at least he could write a legend and make a living.

    Lin Yan's colleague is very interesting. Every once in a while, he comes to ask if there is a letter to take to Jiangnan. This is brought along with the letter from home, and there is Lin Changling's masterpiece - "Ant Hunting Picture" ".

    The picture is drawn with wicker-fired charcoal, "dense ink and heavy color", barely able to recognize its shape, and there are various annotations made by Shen Shaoguang next to it. The story is told.

    I later received a reply letter and got the "homework" corrected by my father, which added a number of plots, and the original simple story was brought together. In this regard, Little Lin liked it very much, stammering, half-guessingly recognizing the words on the picture, and grinding Shen Shaoguang against the picture and the letter, telling the story of the ant hunting again and again.

    Shen Shaoguang occasionally plays at will, this story has more details, and it has the meaning of changing from children's comics to villains and then to novels.

    Maybe there were these letters to communicate, or maybe it was Shen Shaoguang who always said, "Aye loves our big man the most." Although Lin Changling was a little unfamiliar with his father at first, he talked about a book and made a Back to the game, and soon became familiar again.

    Playing Cuju with Lin Yan, Lin Changling was sweaty. Shen Shaoguang greeted him to wipe his sweat and drink, and Lin Changling waved his hand and wanted to play.

    Shen Shaoguang laughed and scolded: "You Aye just came back, so ignore Aniang."

    Lin Changling held the ball and reasoned with Shen Shaoguang: "I just want to play Cuju."

    "You used to play with A Yuan and A Qing, but it was never like this."

    Lin Xiaolangjun told the truth in the end: "It's fun to be with Aye."

    "Aren't you having fun with A Yuan and the others?"

    Lin Changling also likes A Yuan, but still said: "It's fun, but it's more fun to play Cuju with Aye."

    Unfortunately, his preference for his father only lasted until he fell asleep.

    "It's getting late, Aye, go to bed."

    Lin Yan looked at his son: "I'll sleep here."

    "But this is the bed for my mother and I."

    Lin Yan reasoned with him, "Dalang is already a big child, and it is no longer suitable to sleep with your mother."

    "Aye is bigger." Lin Changling hugged his mother's arm.

    Seeing his defensive look, Lin Yan laughed and sat on the bed, wanting to take a slow picture.

    Lin Changling has already preemptively said: "Aniang said, it's about first come, first come."

    Lin Yan: "…"

    Shen Shaoguang laughed.

    Lin Changling frowned and glanced reproachfully at his mother.

    Shen Shaoguang hurriedly said, "Dalang is right."

    Lin Changling showed the same smile as his father when he was proud.

    "With such a big bed, is Dalang really unwilling to share some with Aye?" Lin Yan changed his strategy.

    Lin Changling could see his father's intention not to give up, and after thinking about it, he took a step back and reached a reconciliation: "Then - Aye sleeps here? A mother?"

    Shen Shaoguang nodded reluctantly: "Okay, let him sleep here."

    Lin Changling was lying between his parents, and at first he had some grudges against his father. Later, after listening to the bedtime stories told by the two fathers, he finally put down his grudges, grabbed the corner of Aye's clothes with one hand, He put his arm around A-Niang's arm and fell asleep.

    Lin Yan gently carried him to the bed in the next room, covered the quilt, kissed his son's little face, and returned to the couple's bedroom.

    Shen Shaoguang laughed.

    Lin Yan also smiled helplessly.

    Lin Yan stepped forward and hugged his wife tightly. After a while, he said, "Ali, I really miss you."

    Shen Shaoguang nestled in his arms and said gently, "Lin Yan, I miss you too."
