Chapter 13

The weather was cold, and the breath was white and misty, but even so, the whole East Street was crowded with people, very lively, and someone shouted, "It's time to set off fireworks." Many people rushed to the Huai River.

In addition to watching lanterns at night, you can also watch fireworks, so at this time the riverside is crowded with people.

Jiang Yu reluctantly drank a mouthful of mutton soup. Although the feeling of nausea was still there, he finally held it back. The warm mutton soup slid into his throat and then into his stomach, making him feel warm and comfortable in his stomach.

Du Haoyu took a sip of the mutton soup himself. It was fresh and fragrant, as delicious as ever. He looked at Jiang Yu again and saw that she took another sip. Now she looked relieved. He was relieved, but still asked, "Ayu, are you feeling uncomfortable?"

Jiang Yu shook her head and said, "Maybe I'm a little tired, but it's okay."

"Look, fireworks!"

Many people went to the riverside at once. Suddenly, beautiful fireworks exploded in the sky above the river. Jiang Yu heard someone exclaiming and couldn't help turning to look.

Du Haoyu also looked over. The fireworks exploded in the air, forming various beautiful shapes, like stars scattered all over the sky.

Every time the fireworks exploded... they would light up the surroundings. Jiang Yu's beautiful profile flickered in the firelight, like the wind he couldn't catch.

"Give me a bowl of mutton soup." Another guest came, and Jiang Yu suddenly felt nauseous. She hurriedly got up and covered her mouth with her hands, as if trying to hold back the nausea.

"Oh, I'm so sorry, this fishy smell is bothering you, right?" The man was holding a salted fish tied with a straw rope, and the smell was even stronger than the mutton soup.

"Don't say it, take it away quickly, don't let the noble vomit here, otherwise how can I do business here?"

Jiang Yu felt very sorry after hearing this, and the fishy smell was really unbearable, so he stood up and walked out. Du Haoyu dropped the silver and followed him.

The two figures disappeared in the crowd very quickly. Lin Ji was dragged by his mother to watch the fireworks, but he couldn't help looking at Jiang Yu. Seeing that they were gone, he rolled his eyes and said to Princess Zhou, "Mom, I want to pee."

Princess Zhou hadn't watched fireworks for a long time. After all, she had been hiding for the past few years. Seeing the excitement, she had long forgotten about meeting Jiang Yu. She also asked people to bring a lot of new fireworks to add to the fun. When she heard Lin Ji's words, she said, "You ask Madam Qian to accompany you." Lin Ji

said, "She is a woman, let Tongqian accompany me."

Tongqian was Lin Ji's servant, and he followed immediately. Madam Qian smiled and said, "Second Master is also grown up."

Princess Zhou was also very pleased to see Lin Ji, wondering if she should find a few more servants? Or should she send him to the capital as soon as possible.

Jiang Yu walked to a place with few people, and then she felt a little more comfortable. Just as she was about to speak, someone suddenly hugged her legs. She looked down and saw that it was Lin Ji.

Lin Ji tilted his little face up, his rosy cheeks hidden in the fur collar of sable fur, looking very cute. He looked at Jiang Yu steadily, with a bit of grievance in his tone, "Sister-in-law!"

If she had to say who in the palace made her most worried, it was Lin Ji. She bent down and touched Lin Ji's head, "Why are you here?" Then she looked around, and only saw the servant's copper coins, knowing that she must have slipped out. She couldn't help but said with a stern face, "Did you sneak out by yourself?"

Jiang Yu was obviously right. Lin Ji didn't dare to look at her directly. He tilted his head and looked away, and said, "I just want to talk to my sister-in-law. I'll be back soon. Mother won't find out."

Lin Ji's voice was full of attachment, which made people feel warm.

Jiang Yu smiled helplessly and said, "I have talked to my sister-in-law, so you can go back now."

Lin Ji responded, but he refused to let go of his hand holding Jiang Yu's legs. Jiang Yu couldn't help laughing and said, "Second Master, when my sister-in-law is not here, you should study hard and eat well, and don't be picky about food."

Lin Ji pouted and said, "I write 200 more characters every day now." Then he added, "I ate cucumber yesterday." Then he raised his little face, looking forward to praise.

Lin Ji doesn't like to eat vegetables, so Jiang Yu spent a lot of time preparing the menu every time when he was in the palace.

Jiang Yu couldn't help laughing when he heard this, took a lantern and handed it to Lin Ji, saying, "Here, this is a reward for Second Master."

Lin Ji took the lantern and smiled.

Jiang Yu chatted with Lin Ji for a few words, then coaxed him to go back. After waiting for everyone to leave, she remembered that Du Haoyu was still beside her, and said apologetically, "Cousin, you must be waiting impatiently, right?"

Du Haoyu smiled and shook his head, saying, "Does Ayu like children very much?"

Jiang Yu did like children, but her own stomach had not moved. She also consulted the imperial physician, who said that she was fine and just told her to take it slowly. She thought that this might be destined.

Du Haoyu saw Jiang Yu lowering her head to think about something, and thought she was unhappy, and said, "If you like, we can adopt a few more children after we get married. My third cousin has seven sons, but he only asked me to take one away." Jiang Yu looked back

in surprise, and saw that Du Haoyu was serious, and she understood at once that they all thought she couldn't have children.

Jiang Yu felt mixed emotions for a while, but she felt very satisfied. Suddenly, she felt that this marriage was not bad, and perhaps it would be stable to live in such a plain way.

The two of them didn't talk for a long time. They kept walking forward and slowly away from the crowd. Later, Jiang Yu always remembered this day. The fireworks were so beautiful.

***

Jiang Yu originally thought that she was just tired that day, which made her nausea, but after returning home, the symptom became more obvious. When she got up in the morning to wash, she hadn't put the tooth powder into her mouth yet, but she was sensitive to the smell and retched.

Mrs. Du brought the newly ordered fur coat over and was about to ask about the pattern, but she saw her like this.

"What's wrong? Where do you feel uncomfortable?"

Looking at her mother's worried eyes, Jiang Yu also felt something was wrong. Suddenly, there was a noisy sound of footsteps outside, and the maid said excitedly, "Madam, the eldest girl is back." Mrs.

Du was so happy that she said, "It's your sister who is back. You hurry up and pack up. I'll go first." Then she hurried out.

Jiang Yu was naturally happy. It was not easy for a woman to come back after getting married, especially her sister married to the Xie family as a clan wife. The Xie family had a lot of rules and was very strict. The days when her sister Jiang Jin could come back were few and far between.

She hasn't seen her sister since she came back.

Jiang Yu packed up, changed into an orange jacket and went to the flower hall.

There was a brazier in the room, so it wasn't cold. Mrs. Du was obviously very happy. On the table were all new cakes that had just been shipped from the capital. In addition to the original ones, Li Ji had added a few more cakes.

Jiang Jin had obviously never seen the new cakes before. She tasted some of them one by one and said, "My daughter thinks these are better than the previous ones."

Mrs. Du said, "Then bring more when you go back." Then she told the maid to prepare a few more for Jiang Jin to take back.

"Ayu!" Jiang Jin saw Jiang Yu as soon as she turned around. She stood up happily for a moment. Then she looked at her carefully for a long time. Seeing that Jiang Yu looked very good, she was relieved. In fact, she had always been worried about Jiang Yu. She was afraid that she could not bear it. She was afraid that she was the only one in the family who knew that Jiang Yu treated Lin Bozhi differently.

The two sisters were particularly affectionate when they met. They sat together and chatted. Because they had been separated for too long, they naturally had a lot to say.

Mrs. Du went to arrange lunch. The two sisters were still holding hands and chatting. She couldn't help but smile and said, "You two have been close since you were young. You only left your brother alone outside and didn't take him to play. At that time, he always came to me crying. I didn't expect that time would pass so quickly." Mrs. Du couldn't help but sigh in her tone. There

are three children in the family. Jiang Jin and Jiang Yu are both girls, so they naturally have a good relationship. On the contrary, the only brother is always disliked by the sisters because of the age difference and the fact that he is a boy.

Speaking of childhood, there are naturally a lot of fun. The three mothers and daughters chatted together. Time passed quickly and it was time for lunch.

Jiang Jin said reluctantly, "There are still a lot of things going on at home, and I really can't get away."

Mrs. Du also knew Jiang Jin's situation. Although she was reluctant, she didn't say much and asked people to start the banquet. Because it was close to the end of the year, Mrs. Du bought a lot of New Year's goods, and the lunch was particularly rich. In addition to a few home-cooked dishes, there were also rare seafood.

Because it was cold at this time, there was no need to worry about it going bad on the way. There were braised prawns, shark fin soup and scallion-fried sea cucumbers on the table, which showed that Mrs. Du was very attentive.

Mrs. Du said, "Eat it while it's hot." Then she sighed. The next time they met would be after the New Year.

Who would have thought that just as Mrs. Du had picked up a large shrimp for Jiang Jin, she suddenly turned her back, looking like she wanted to vomit. After a while, she held back and said, "Mom, I can't eat this anymore."

"Why is that?"

Jiang Jin blushed and said, "I'm pregnant again."

Mrs. Du was not happy, but said angrily, "When you gave birth to Sister Rong last year, the doctor said that it would be difficult to have another child in the future. At that time, your son-in-law also agreed. How come you are pregnant again?"

Jiang Jin said, "Mom, this is what I want. It's too lonely to have only one son and one daughter at home."

"Why are you lonely? I think your mother-in-law thinks that having only one grandson is not enough, and wants you to have another one. Why do you only care about your own happiness and don't even check how you are?" Mrs. Du said.

Jiang Jin lowered her head so that Jiang Yu could not see her expression clearly, but it was obvious that she was a little depressed. She said, "Mom, I have seen the doctor, and he said that your body is almost healed, and there is nothing wrong." After

Jiang Jin left, Mrs. Du sighed for a long time, and finally she was still worried and asked someone to send medicinal materials over.

Jiang Yu was thinking about something else. She remembered her sister's retching... Actually, she couldn't help retching just now, but because her sister was in front of her, no one noticed.

Her sister is pregnant, what about her? Is she pregnant too?
