The same goes for everyone else present, especially Lao Lintou. This is Yuan Qiu's first child, so he must not let anything happen to him.
It is said that the authorities are blind to the beholder. After hearing Ma Cao's words that the young lady was pregnant, Lin Yuanqiu could no longer pay attention to the smile on Cao Ma's face. He just thought that something must have happened to Yu Rou when someone came over to call him out of breath.
Thinking again that Yurou had been riding in a carriage all day today, Lin Yuanqiu, who was anxious, quickly stood up and ran to the back hall.
Seeing this, Zhong Rong and Lin Sanzhu also chased after them, as well as Zhong Jinan and Zhong Jinhua.
When Lin Yuanqiu arrived in the back hall, he saw his wife sitting at the square table safe and sound, looking pretty good.
"Yurou, are you okay?" Lin Yuanqiu asked.
Seeing her son coming, Mrs. Feng hurriedly said, "Yuanqiu, go and ask if there is a doctor at the inn. Yurou needs to see the doctor before she can rest assured."
Ping An was waiting at the door. As soon as he heard this, he ran out and said, "Sir, I'm going to ask you now."
I originally thought that whether there was a doctor or not, Ping An would definitely be back soon. Unexpectedly, it took two quarters of an hour to see him leading an old man carrying a medicine box.
After asking people to wait at the door, Ping An came in and reported, "Sir, this is the doctor of the village here."
Post stations are usually built on the outskirts of the city. Apart from the postmaster and a dozen or so postmen, the only ones left in the station are a few grooms feeding the horses. As for doctors who treat patients, there is definitely no such thing. Therefore, after hearing that Lord Zhizhou needed a doctor, Yi Cheng hurriedly asked the post soldiers to lead Ping An to the village to call for someone.
When he heard that he was treating a female family member, the old doctor opened the medicine box and quickly took out a thin silk handkerchief. Looking at this posture, it is obvious that this is not the first time that he has come to the inn to see a doctor.
Zhong Yurou stretched out her hand, and Liu Ye on the side took the silk handkerchief and covered it on her young lady's wrist.
The old doctor raised his hand and began to feel the pulse.
The finger runs like a bead on a disk, and the pulse is strong and swirling, which is the happy pulse.
But after all, he was treating the official's wife. To be cautious, the old doctor took his pulse again. After confirming that it was correct, he bowed to Lin Yuanqiu, who was wearing official uniform, and said congratulations, "Congratulations, sir, my wife has been sick for nearly three months." Pregnant."
Three months?
It’s been three months?
Upon hearing this, everyone present, including Lin Yuanqiu, opened their eyes wide.
Even Zhong Yurou herself was shocked. She hadn't come to Guishui for only two months, so how could she be three months pregnant?
However, thinking that I came to Guishui at the beginning of the month, it would be almost three months ago.
Feng held down her heart that was about to jump out of her throat and asked the old doctor, "Doctor, is my daughter-in-law okay? Do you want me to prescribe some miscarriage pills?"
The old doctor shook his head, "That's not necessary. I took my pulse just now. The young lady's pulse is strong and strong. It can be seen that the fetus and the pregnant woman are very healthy."
It's three parts of the medicine that are poisonous. It's good. Naturally, the old doctor doesn't recommend taking the decoction.
After hearing the doctor's words, Lin Yuanqiu felt relieved. Now that there is no worry, all that is left is joy.
Thinking that in more than half a year, he would be able to hold a soft child connected to his blood, Lin Yuanqiu couldn't help but feel excited. He held his wife's hand and said gratefully, "Yurou, thank you for your hard work. And, thank you!”
Hearing his son-in-law's thoughtful words, Zhong Rong felt extremely relieved.
It is said that everyone likes a son-in-law who loves his daughter, and Zhong Rong is the same. He still said that he was so lucky to have such a good son-in-law.
Lin Yuanqiu's good mood did not weaken even until he went to bed.
He also performed various operations on his own child. He touched Zhong Yurou's belly and talked to the fetus, saying, "Bao'er, I am your father." Zhong Yurou almost burst out laughing.
After a while, he put his ear to Zhong Yurou's abdomen, saying that he wanted to hear the child's heartbeat, but all he heard was a "gurgling" bowel sound. Was he hungry?
Zhong Yurou's face suddenly turned red. She felt a little nauseous during dinner and didn't take a few bites of food, so she was definitely hungry now.
Lin Yuanqiu raised his hand and touched his wife's forehead, and said with a smile, "What's the point of being embarrassed? I think our baby is hungry. Just wait, my husband will cook noodles for you."
After saying that, Lin Yuanqiu immediately rolled up his sleeves and went to the inn kitchen, ready to show off his skills.
It was only when he got there that he realized that it was really inconvenient to go out. No, there was a copper lock hanging on the kitchen door.
Finally, by the time the waiter was called to open the door and prepare the noodles, Zhong Yurou had already fallen asleep.
…
To be on the safe side, Lin Yuanqiu decided to stay at the inn for one more day, and then went to the county to find a doctor.
After checking the pulse, the doctor said the same thing as the doctor yesterday, that is, both the fetus and the pregnant woman were healthy, and there was no need to take medicine for miscarriage. As for the month of pregnancy, it was almost three months old.
Feng and Wu finally felt relieved after hearing this.
It is said that only by being prepared can you avoid danger. Lin Yuanqiu asked the doctor to prescribe a few anti-fetal drugs. They were on the road the whole time. If there was anything, the doctor would not be so timely.
Then, Lin Yuanqiu, his father-in-law, and the bodyguards renegotiated the itinerary, changing the original one-day rest every three days to every two days.
Anyway, there are still forty-six days before the stipulated date of taking office, so there is absolutely plenty of time.
Now it seems that it is fortunate that they set off so many days early, otherwise they would have had a headache now.
The escorts naturally had no objections. Whether it was two days or three days, it was still a trip for them. Moreover, the employer also agreed to make additional payments for the additional days, so there is no difference.
It's just that this is the first time for the escorts to encounter such a relaxed escort. Needless to say, it's quite novel.
…
For the rest of the journey, we will follow the arrangement of two days of travel and one day of rest. If it rains, we will stay at the inn for an extra day. Such a schedule is really not tiring at all.
Although they stayed at the inn every time they rested, the escorts still cooked their own meals as before.
Seeing that most of what they ate were dried vegetables, Lao Lintou asked Lin Sanzhu to bring pickled rabbit and pickled chicken to add vegetables to the escorts. Whenever there was fresh pork for sale, he would cut a few kilograms for them.
Not only did he need to eat better to be able to cope with the fatigue on the road when he was out, but he also came here to protect his own safety. Old Lintou felt that he should take more care of the bodyguards.
What surprised Lin Yuanqiu most during this trip was the children at home.
Whether it is Mo Ming and Mo Ze who are only three years old, or the slightly older ones, they all obey the adults' arrangements very obediently, adding clothes and drinking water without a second thought, and never crying.
Before setting off, Lin Yuanqiu specially asked his cousin to go to the drugstore to grab some medicine to treat colds and fevers. He was worried that these children would get into trouble on the way. Looking at it now, it was a big relief.
What Lin Yuanqiu didn't know was that after deciding to go to Saibei with her husband, Gao Cui, Qin Hehua, Wang Yunxiang and Ding Ju had all made full preparations.
Several people first told the children that they were going on a long trip, and then explained to them in detail what they should pay attention to. They even told them about the things that would happen if they ran away disobediently.
In order to have the energy to take care of these children in the future, Gao Cui and others quietly made the decision not to have any more children for the time being.
So before going out, they went to the old doctor to prescribe contraceptive pills.
Lin Yuanfeng and others also knew about this and agreed to it.
In their opinion, it is certain that they will go to Saibei to be busy, and the most important thing right now is that the whole family should work together to help the fifth brother handle the errands well.
As for having children, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future.
…
Lin Sanzhu had always known that his son was attentive, but since his daughter-in-law became pregnant, Lin Sanzhu found that he still didn't know much about his son. Along the way, Lin Sanzhu felt inferior to Gouzi's careful care of his wife.
As for Zhong Rong, as well as Zhong Jinan and Zhong Jinhua, seeing their daughter's rosy face, the smiles on the lips of the father and son never stopped.
However, after entering the Yizhou territory, the smiles on everyone's faces were obviously much less, and there was more worry in their eyes.
Especially Lao Lintou and Lin Dazhu and Lin Erzhu who know farm work, because the difference between this place and the other places is really big. Look at the land on the side of the road. It's light in color and looks solid. It's impossible to grow high-yielding food on such land, and it's impossible to even get a slightly better harvest.
Looking at the houses on both sides of the road, most of them are sloping mud houses with roofs that look like they could fly away in a strong wind.
There are not many green plants here, and those trees look like... Huh?
Looking at a large forest not far away, Lin Dazhu said in surprise, "Dad, look quickly, is that a persimmon tree?"
When Lin Erzhu heard this, he quickly opened the curtain wider, and then quickly stuck his head out.
The thing that made Lin Erzhu reluctant to leave the capital was the hundreds of persimmon trees on Zhuangzi. They were all worth money. So when he saw that there were tracts of persimmon groves here, Lin Erzhu's head immediately popped up with the happy thought of "there is money to be made".
Lin Sanzhu also saw it, as well as Lin Yuanfeng and Lin Yuansong.
So after half a day's journey, the Lin family's grinning mouths never closed.
It can also be said that since seeing the first persimmon forest, everyone's eyes have been outside the carriage. Including Zhong Yurou, who was already a little pregnant at the moment, but her happiness was even higher.
In Zhong Yurou's view, with so many persimmon trees, the husband would be able to make the people here live a good life, so isn't this a proper political achievement?
When they saw that there were still many persimmon trees after entering Yongning Prefecture, the Lin family's anxious hearts finally fell back into their stomachs.
Having said that, there is nothing more satisfying than discovering what you are good at in a strange place.
…
Chapter 186 Deserted
Yongning Prefecture and Dinghu County are not far apart.
Lin Yuanqiu felt that since he was the magistrate of Yongning, the place where he wanted to live was naturally at the magistrate's office.
I just don’t know how big the backyard of the government office is.
However, judging from the county and government offices I had seen before, it should be no problem for the government offices to accommodate their family. And it is certain that it will be somewhat crowded. After all, the size of the house here cannot be compared with the four-in-one large house in the capital.
It was almost time for the carriage to arrive outside Yongning City.
At this point in time, Lin Yuanqiu would naturally not choose to go to the city again. I don't know if the Zhizhou Yamen Office has been cleaned up yet. Don't worry about the dust everywhere. It will have to be temporarily tidied up before people can move in. So they might as well go there tomorrow morning and rest at the post station outside the city tonight.
After more than a month of long journey, we have finally arrived. If we say we are unhappy, it would be a lie.
Especially Lin Mojun, Lin Mocheng, and Lin Moming. They used to love riding carriages the most. Every time they heard about going to Zhuangzi, their eyes would light up. But after sitting in the carriage for more than a month, I was so bored that I could no longer be bored.
So when they arrived at the inn, the little kids couldn't wait to get off the carriage. Even Lin Wanqing and Lin Wanying were like this. Looking at their faces, they all looked relaxed that they had finally arrived, which made Wu and Lao Lintou couldn't help laughing.
Seeing that their parents were about to get off the carriage, Lin Dazhu, Lin Erzhu, and Lin Sanzhu, the three brothers hurriedly stepped forward to help them.
Before this, Mrs. Wu would have said no to her sons, but now, it's really not the time to show off. She and the old man are still older people. These many days of travel are indeed quite tiring. . Fortunately, this journey has been smooth except for being a little tiring, which is pretty good.
Seeing that her third son was still wearing a long cyan gown today, Mrs. Wu was a little confused as to why she felt that her third son seemed to have been wearing this kind of clothes since he came out of the capital.
So, this has never been changed?
There was a question in her mind, and Mrs. Wu must ask clearly, "Third brother, I saw you were wearing this outfit when you left the capital. Why haven't I seen you change clothes in so many days?"
Hearing her mother-in-law's question, Ms. Feng nodded inwardly. She was also puzzled. Her husband didn't know what was going on during this period. Not only was he too lazy to change his clothes, he even wore them when sleeping. He only put on his clothes every time. I patted the gray layer on my clothes and used them as inner clothes.
Feng thought to herself that it was fortunate that it was not a hot day, and the color of her clothes was stain-resistant, otherwise she would not have been able to see anyone.
Lin Sanzhu didn't take it seriously, "Mom, what are you changing into? We're not here for fun, why are we being so fussy about it!"
Upon hearing this, all the "fussy" people present couldn't help but look at themselves, especially Lin Dazhu and Lin Erzhu. They had just changed their clothes when they got up in the morning. Now after hearing what the third brother said, they still couldn't help but look at themselves. I'm really embarrassed. Yes, they didn't come here to enjoy the sights. Why do they make it so glamorous?
