Part One: Intertwined Time and Space Chapter One: Daily Life
Chapter 9 The Second Dream: Good Pregnancy News
It was already very late when Xue Hua and Yue Qing arrived home. They put down the things they bought today, rested for a while, and then started sorting out the things they bought today. Most of them were snowflakes, and Yueqing helped her sort them into categories.
After another busy period, Xuehua turned on the TV, played her favorite anime and asked Yueqing: "What are you going to eat today?"
"Oh, I'm so tired. Let's just eat some noodles. And it's not good to eat too much at night. Let's order some noodles. I'll get them later." Yue Qing doesn't want to do anything complicated. .
"Okay then, there are vegetables in the refrigerator, you can take whatever you want." Xuehua said to Yueqing.
"Okay." With that said, Yue Qing walked to the kitchen.
"I'll help you choose the food." Xue Hua also stood up.
"It's okay. Look, I'll just cook it for twenty minutes. You don't have to do anything with the dishes." Yue Qing said quickly.
"Oh, then I'll wait and eat." Xuehua sat back on the sofa again, staring at the TV.
Yue Qing shook her head, opened the refrigerator, and saw a lot of vegetables in the refrigerator. She took a tomato, a handful of mushrooms, some bean sprouts, a few green vegetable leaves, and two eggs.
After washing the vegetables, fry the mushrooms first, then add the bean sprouts. When they are almost cooked, serve them out. Then fry the tomatoes in juice, add enough water for two people, then turn around and beat the eggs and cut the vegetables into sections.
After the water boils, put the noodles in first, add all the seasonings, then add the fried vegetables, then add the vegetable leaves, and finally pour the egg flowers into the soup.
"Xue Hua, let's eat." Yue Qing finished cooking and called Xue Hua from the kitchen.
Xue Hua had just finished watching an episode of anime and the second episode had just started. "Wow, you're so fast." She turned off the TV and ran to the kitchen.
. . . . . .
"What shall we eat tomorrow?" Xuehua asked while eating.
"Tomorrow, let's make delicious food together. I see you bought a lot of things. Do you have any meat at home? No, let's go to the supermarket to buy some ingredients tomorrow." Yue Qing replied.
"Well, there's a lot of meat at home, including chicken legs, fish, ribs, chicken, and mutton. There's some under the refrigerator here, and there's some in the freezer over there," Xuehua said.
"Oh, that's enough. Let's do it together tomorrow." Yue Qing replied to her.
"Okay, I can only handle the dishes for you, I'm not very good at cooking." Xuehua said with a naughty smile.
"It's okay, I didn't count on you. I'll make it for you tomorrow to show you my skills and let you have a taste of my craftsmanship." Yue Qing replied to her.
After eating, Xuehua hurriedly went to wash the dishes, but Yueqing didn't care and went to wash up.
"By the way, will you sleep in the study later or sleep with me in my room?" Xuehua asked her in the kitchen.
"I'll sleep in the study. I'm afraid I'll kick you if you don't sleep well at night." Yue Qing replied to Xue Hua while washing her face.
"good."
After Xuehua finished cleaning up the kitchen, she quickly went to the study to tidy up and found a pillow for Yue Qing.
"Yue Qing, this pillow has basically never been used. You can use it. I guess you don't like the one in the study. You can pull the quilt over and use it yourself." Xue Hua explained.
"Okay, everything is fine." Yue Qing came over and sat on the bed.
"Well, let's go to bed early. I've been running around all afternoon and I don't want to watch TV anymore." Xuehua yawned and walked out as she spoke. "Good night, dear."
"Well, good night." Yue Qing turned around and pulled the quilt over.

Xuehua went to sleep in her room. Yueqing turned off the light in the study and went to bed. She looked out the window. The light from the window gently shone into the room, giving the room a dark yellow atmosphere. Yueqing feels that this kind of light is the most suitable for sleeping. It is not too dark and not too bright. She feels that the quality of sleep will be particularly good if she sleeps in this atmosphere. Yue Qing looked at her phone. It was only around 9 pm. Normally, Yue Qing was not asleep at this time. She usually wouldn't go to bed until about 11 pm. Some sounds could be faintly heard from Xuehua's room next to her, which made Yueqing feel solid and safe. She closed her eyes and started to sleep. She hoped to have a good night's sleep and not to think too much and cause insomnia.
In fact, she did fall asleep very quickly. Yue Qing fell asleep in less than half an hour. She didn't know how long she slept, but she woke up again in a daze. There was still dim light in the haze, and there was the faint sound of someone talking.
"It's not yet dawn. What time is it now? Is Xuehua watching TV?" Yue Qing wanted to get her phone, but found that she couldn't move. She now became more awake. She tried to get up, but failed, and still didn't move. Yueqing was completely awake at this moment. She tried to move her fingers, but even this failed. She found that she could clearly feel her surroundings, but she couldn't move.
Yue Qing looked around, and found that this was not her room. The familiar windows and round ceiling lights were not there, replaced by a wooden roof. In which rural area is this? There are still roofs like this. Yue Qing tried to look away and found that her field of vision could be changed, but her body could not move. It seemed that her consciousness was in this room. Yueqing settled down, she had already had an experience, but last time she couldn't feel her body, this time she could clearly feel that she was sleeping, her body couldn't move, and her consciousness was awake. Ah, it seemed like he was dreaming again. Yue Qing was about to take a closer look at his surroundings when the sound of someone talking attracted him.
It was a female voice that seemed a little old: "Fu'er, I heard that you were assassinated last time you went back. We were still worried. We didn't have time to ask you outside just now. What happened? Have you found out what happened to the other party? Who is so bold as to dare to mess with our Mocheng Villa?" There was obvious anger in the voice.
Yue Qing looked over and saw that she was an older woman with a full head of white hair and a classic ponytail. A hairpin on the head. There were two older men next to her, and a younger uncle was also standing next to her. The old lady sat in the second seat on the left. There were four uncles on her side, and three old men sat opposite her.
One of the old men also said angrily: "The people who dare to take action against our villa are not the first ones. Over the long years, the villa has long lost its previous majesty, and we have become less and less prestige recently. ."
Hearing what he said, the old man sitting above him also sighed.
Seeing that the grandma was angry, the old man next to her said: "We really need some tough measures to scare the outside world. What happened to Fu'er this time is really dangerous. There have been people who have taken action against us in the past, but most of them were relatively intimidating. An, it’s really rare for Fu’er to rob as blatantly as this time, but we still did it when Fu’er was on her way back from our villa, it’s obviously aimed at us.”
"Fu'er, please tell me what happened at that time. Were you injured in any way?" asked another old man opposite.
The person who answered was a young woman, not very old, probably no older than Yue Qing. She had a curly hair, her hair was decorated with pearls and pearls, and she was wearing a colorful floating gauze skirt, which gave her a graceful look. beautiful.
I saw the woman reply: "Back to the fifth elder, I was not injured at all. Uncle Zhong protected me with all his strength, and there were a group of guards accompanying me. However, Chang Jin was seriously injured and almost lost his life, and there were several others." The clan guards were gone too. At that time, not long after we left the villa, Uncle Zhong noticed someone was following us. He only followed secretly and didn’t show up, so he didn’t know who it was. At that time, Uncle Zhong asked Ah Yun and Ah Leng to stay behind to check. We found that the other party's purpose was not good, so our team kept dealing with them while walking. The other party found out that they were being investigated and showed up at the mountain pass. We had a conflict with the other party, and the opponent was not weak.
Uncle Zhong and the others tried their best to fight back the other side and led the convoy to speed up their journey. Unexpectedly, there were still pursuers halfway. Uncle Zhong feels that we cannot let the other party consume us. Ah Yun and Ah Leng stayed behind to intercept and kill them, but later... they didn't come back either. When we reached the forest section, someone blocked the road again. The other side seemed to have arranged everything in advance and placed killers on each section of the road. Chang Jin led the two of them and continued to block the road. Later, only Chang Jin came back with injuries all over his body. There was still a group of people on the mountain road out of the woods. Uncle Zhong and the others protected me with all their might. Hong'er and Xiaoye were a little injured. Fortunately, Chang Feng came later and we got home smoothly. Along the way, there were several villa green guards. They all died in this interception. "As she said this, the woman's expression began to look sad.
There was silence for a while, "Fu'er, don't worry too much. The Qingwei originally existed for you. It is their long-cherished wish to usher in death in this way." The fifth elder said.
"But Ayun, it's you..." the young woman said, looking at the fifth elder.
The fifth elder interrupted him: "No matter who they are, this is their mission. This is how I came here when I was young."
"Fu'er, this is the right that the women of our clan deserve. You must accept it openly and fulfill your obligations at the same time. Men do what men should do, and women do what women should do. Don't think too much, you are still worried about that matter." The old woman also said to the young woman.
"Seventh Elder, I don't. I'm just a little sad." The young woman replied.
"Hey, Fu'er, you are just a little too soft-tempered. You have been soft-tempered since you were young. You should learn more from Jing'er. She will never be sad about these things, and she will break off the things that need to be broken off." The seventh elder taught him a lesson. road.
"Okay, the child was frightened to begin with, but you taught him a lesson. Ah Zhi, as the only woman who has been able to hold the position of elder in the past, you should treat these juniors with kindness." The other old man spoke in a tone of voice. With a majestic aura, everyone fell silent.
Yue Qing looked over and saw that the old man was sitting in the upper seat. On his left were the three Seventh Elders and the standing uncle. On the right were the three Fifth Elders. In the open space below the young woman, there was a small round table, covered with a classic and beautiful dark floral tablecloth, with tea on the table. There was a small stool next to it, and the woman was sitting on the stool. There were only nine of them in the whole room, and Yue Qing looked a bit like a three-chamber trial.
The elder at the top of the table sat on the Supreme Master's chair. There were square tables on either side of him, with refreshments and the like placed on either side. There was a box on the table on the other side. It was very delicate and beautiful. The soft cloth in the box was clean and soft. Yue Qing looked at it as it must be a very expensive fabric. There should be something like cotton wrapped inside to make the cloth look bulging and softer. There is a stone in the middle, which is also quite beautiful. It exudes a cold blue color and looks like it is glowing. It's a bit like the sapphire in the game, but the shape doesn't have those rules and has many corners. Yueqing felt that the stone was not worthy of such a good box.
The old man in the first place continued: "Fu'er, you're scared. Next time, bring more Qingwei followers. It's because the Qingwei in our villa are not good at learning. Third Elder, let the guards of each team improve their skills." strength."
"Yes." The old man on the left replied.
"Yes." The woman replied.
"Hey, the girl who has never been destined for our family has appeared. It has been more than 300 years since the last generation of the girl who was destined to appear. It's no wonder that the world doesn't believe us very much." The Fifth Chief sighed.
"What the Fifth Elder said, Fu'er originally didn't want to go out because she was afraid of meeting those people again. It was precisely because Fu'er was pregnant that she took the risk and rushed to the villa to announce the good news." The young woman lowered her head and said.
Everyone was stunned. "What, Fu'er, are you pregnant?" The seventh elder quickly dealt with her.
"Yes, I just found out. The doctor said it has been more than a month. I think she was already pregnant when she was assassinated. Now that I think about it, Fu'er was indeed a bit reckless." The young woman replied gently.
Everyone looked at her: "Since Jing'er gave birth to a daughter five years ago, there has never been a girl in our family. Xiaoyao no longer meets the conditions of a destined person. I didn't expect that this time Fu'er and Mei'er They are all pregnant, this is indeed a happy event." The fifth elder said happily.
"Is Sister Mei pregnant too?" the woman named Fu'er asked in surprise.
"Yes, your sister Mei is already more than two months pregnant. There is no response in the measurement, but no one knows the result before the baby is born." The seventh elder said with a kind smile.
"Fu'er, let's test it." The old man who ascended the Taoist rank said.
"Yes, Great Elder." Fu'er stood up and lowered her head and replied.
The uncle standing behind the third elder quickly walked to the first elder, picked up the box containing the stone, walked carefully and slowly to Fu'er, and placed the box on the table.
After a pause, the young woman named Fu'er picked up the blue stone in the box and raised her hand. Everyone's eyes were on the stone. Yue Qing moved her consciousness curiously, paying attention to the stone, which seemed to be a little brighter than before. What are they looking at, and will anything happen to the stone?
"There is still some reaction." The seventh elder had already stood up and took two steps closer. Then he looked at the stone and said.
'What? Has anything changed? Yue Qing looked at the stone again. It hadn't changed. Yue Qing felt that even if it didn't deform, it would at least need to change color, or glow or something? What is this reaction? It feels like the candlelight on the woman named Fu'er's side is brighter, and the stone illuminated is a little brighter than before. Yue Qing thought a little funny.
"The time is still short, so I can't tell anything. Fu'er, you can raise your baby in the villa, just to be with your sister Mei." The elder said.
"Great Elder, I want to go back to the Marquis Mansion." Fu'er lowered her head and considered it, then raised her head and said firmly.
"Okay, if you feel happy in the Hou Mansion, then go back. From now on, people from the villa will bring crystal stones to the Hou Mansion for testing every once in a while," the elder said.
"Thank you, Great Elder." Fu'er saluted quickly.
"It's nothing, you deserve the treatment." The great elder quickly raised his hand to stop her.
"Then I will send some Zhu guards to Fu'er later. When she leaves, we can escort her back." The third elder said to the first elder.
"Yes. Let Chang Huai follow." The great elder explained. Fu'er raised her head, a little surprised.
"But Chang Huai is the leader of the third group of Red Guards." The third elder hesitated.
"Let him go. I have a hunch that I should be able to meet my destined person in my lifetime. Pregnant women in our clan must not make mistakes. Let someone else take Chang Huai's vacant seat." The great elder said without question.
"Yes. I will make arrangements later." The third elder replied.
"Fu'er, if you have any difficulties, ask Qingwei to deliver a message to the villa. Don't go out at will anymore. You can go see your sister Mei later." The seventh elder came to explain to Fu'er again.
"Yes, Seventh Elder, Fu'er has remembered it." The young woman replied.
"Um."
"If nothing happens, Fu'er will go out first. Brother Feng is still waiting for me outside."
"Okay, go ahead." The great elder said.
The woman named Fu'er turned around and went out. Yue Qing followed her with her eyes and saw a young man at the door looking at her happily. When he saw her coming out, he quickly ran towards her. "Fur."
The young man was good-looking and dressed in a somewhat noble style. Just as Yue Qing was about to take a closer look, the sound of a flushing toilet brought her back to reality, and Yue Qing opened her eyes.
------------------------------------------Dividing line
The familiar room came into view, with the same dim light that made people feel comfortable. This was the study room of Xuehua's family. The antique room in the dream had disappeared.
"Snowflake." Yueqing shouted.
"Hey." Xuehua replied over there, and after another sound, Xuehua opened the door to the study. "Did it wake you up? I went to the bathroom."
"Well, I said I just heard a sound and I was in a daze. What time is it now?" Yue Qing felt that her brain hadn't turned around yet.
"It's only around 5 o'clock now, you can still sleep a little longer." Xuehua half went into the study and half was outside the door, looking at Yue Qing and said.
"Ah, it's only around 5 o'clock. I thought it was almost dawn." Yue Qing said in a daze.
"What's wrong? You look uncomfortable?" Xuehua asked Yueqing as she saw that she was confused.
"It's okay, I just had a dream." Yue Qing replied.
"What dream, nightmare?" Snowflake asked.
"It doesn't count." Yue Qing said.
"Hmm, um, um, go to bed quickly, you can still sleep for a while." Xuehua said.
"Oh, okay." Yue Qing replied. Just as she was about to lie down, she suddenly sat up straight again, and then said to Xue Hua, "By the way, take out the meat you want to make tomorrow and thaw it. Is it frozen in the refrigerator?"
"Ang." Snowflake.
"I'll go see what's there." Yue Qing sat up.
Xue Hua followed Yue Qing, who rummaged through the refrigerator and found the ribs and fish and took them out to thaw.
After working for a while, the two returned to the study.
"Go to sleep. Get up tomorrow and make delicious food." Yue Qing said while pulling the quilt.
"Okay, I'm going to bed." Xuehua closed the door and walked to her room.
