C184 Nagging Mu Yu
Since their home was close, Qing Sheng did not bring much, he only brought a few things to change his clothes. Shen Jingli told Jin Yu to put the clothes in the wardrobe, and then sat down with Qing Sheng, pointing to the goat's milk on the table: "You came at the right time, Jin Yu cooked some goat's milk in the morning.
After knowing that he was pregnant, Mu Chen asked some people to find two ewes that were giving birth to milk for him, and told Jin Yu and Nian Hua to cook some goat's milk for him every day. Because of his child, not only could he not use almonds, he couldn't even use honey.
Mu Xi watched him drink with relish, and argue for a drink. Shen Jingli had Jin Yu go to the kitchen to bring him a bowl, but after taking a sip, he went out to vomit, and hurriedly stuffed a few candies into his mouth to taste, and then, with a long face, he said, "Mama, this goat's milk has a strange taste, I don't like it."
"If you don't like it, then don't drink it." Qing Sheng put down the bowl and casually wiped his mouth, then poured Mu Xi some sugar water, "Drink some sugar water, go have some."
After Mu Xi drank the sweet water, he frowned and said to Qing Sheng, "Mama, goat's milk is not good to drink, stop drinking it too."
"Silly child." Qing Sheng rubbed Mu Xi's head and laughed, "Drinking goat's milk is good for your body, but it's good for your brother who is in Mama's stomach. Mama wants to drink more."
"Mama …" Mu Xi wrinkled his nose, feeling that the Mama was only feeling wronged because of his little brother, he reached out to touch Qing Sheng's stomach and muttered: "Little brother, be good, don't mess with Mama, otherwise, when you come out, I will beat you up."
Hearing Mu Xi's words, Shen Jingli and Qing Sheng both laughed. Shen Jingli had asked Nian Hua to take him to play with Xun Er and Huaixin, and had Jin Yu bring a bowl of red date cheese over.
After kneading a piece of walnut and sprinkling it into the red date cheese, Shen Jingli used a spoon to stir it up before handing it over to Qing Sheng, "This is the red date cheese, you should eat it too."
"Thank you, sister-in-law." Qing Sheng truly felt that Shen Jingli had treated him well, and used a spoon to stir the bowl of red date cheese, and then picked it up and started to eat.
Shen Jingli looked at Qing Sheng eating and the expression in his eyes softened a lot. When Qing Sheng was eating, it always made people feel that he was eating and it made them hungry, so Shen Jingli picked up a few walnuts and started to eat, but he did not dare eat too many and stopped after eating.
After eating their fill, the two sat on the Arhat Bed and chatted. Qing Sheng did not have time to relax, he chatted with Shen Jingli while sewing.
"The day after tomorrow will be Great Granduncle's birthday." Shen Jingli was half lying on the Arhat Bed, holding onto the military manual that Mu Chen had placed on the table, he suddenly thought of this matter and could not help but sigh. Originally, they should have returned to the capital after participating in the grand uncle's birthday celebration, but now that Mu Chen had gone to the south, his body was not suitable for a long journey, so he could only stay here.
Jin Yu was beating up the police when she heard Shen Jingli say that, so she replied, "Master has already said that since Madam's month is not even three months away, I will not join in on the fun, and will allow Second Master to pass by."
Shen Jingli was not interested in this kind of banquet in the first place.
"Will you go?" Shen Jingli reached out to touch Qing Sheng, but his gaze was still fixated on the military manual.
"Yifann will go with Father and Big Brother, I won't be joining in on the fun." Qing Sheng then raised up the tiger hat that he was making, "Sister-in-law, what do you think of this hat?"
"It's pretty good." Shen Jingli looked at the cute tiger hat and admired Qing Sheng greatly. To be able to make such a difficult thing, this Twin Spaces in time and space were truly a miraculous creature.
Receiving Shen Jingli's acknowledgement, Qing Sheng started laughing happily, and continued to work with his head lowered, looking very virtuous.
Shen Jingli looked at his obedient look and suddenly felt bored, as he suddenly remembered the days when he stayed up to play games. Although it was bad for his body, but at the very least he felt refreshed, unlike right now, where work and rest were the rules, he was so bored that he was about to become a log.
When Jin Yu went to the kitchen, Qing Sheng did not pay attention to him and quietly went out of the house. He walked on the small path in front of the house, the air in the village was very nice, you could see trees everywhere, and a few children were playing by the stream in front of the house. When they saw him, they happily greeted him.
Shen Jingli laughed and nodded, he felt that his ability to accept things was strong, if someone in the past dared to call him that, even if it was a joke, he would rush forward and beat that person until his parents wouldn't be able to recognize him.
The scenery around Mu Family Village was very beautiful, with three surrounding mountains, and at the entrance of the village there was a long-established archway, beside the pavilion there were two ponds, raising fish, growing lotus roots, and beside the ponds there was a small stream passing by, and below the stream was a large piece of paddy field, which had just finished planting the seedlings, it was growing very well, a green area, it was very pleasing to look at, and at the far end of the paddy field, there were faintly discernible mountains, like a painting of mountains in the clouds, there was a road at the end of the village, and at the foot of the mountain there was a piece of unreclaimed land.
Shen Jingli was in a happy mood as he walked towards the west side of the village. Every house in Mu Family Village had trees planted on their doorstep, which were usually two or three large trees that lined up in rows. On summer evenings, the villagers would move chairs under the trees and sit down, fanning themselves, and then chat about family matters and gossip with their neighbors.
"Aiyo, it's Zi An's wife, why are you out for a walk?" A woman was washing her clothes by the stream. When she saw Shen Jingli walking over slowly, she hurriedly greeted him, "I heard that you just got pregnant, is there anything wrong with your body?"
Shen Jingli laughed awkwardly. The feeling of having a child being asked by a woman was really hard to describe.
He laughed for a while, then continued walking. It was fine to talk about pregnancy with a woman, but why did it feel so weird to talk about pregnancy with a woman?
There were two big trees at the top of the stairs, under the big trees, there would frequently be farmers who did not have to do farm work gathered around to play chess. When Shen Jingli walked over, he saw four or five men standing around the two people who were playing chess.
Shen Jingli also liked to watch chess, so he found an empty spot to squeeze in. What surprised him was that the people who were sitting inside were actually Mu Yu and Mu Yiming, and the two of them were playing chess, and although Mu Yu's Go was bad and its quality was still bad, but the Chess was pretty good, and had already forced Mu Yiming to the level of a general.
The game had reached its critical point, as the people by the side discussed quietly. Shen Jingli stood by the side and watched the game, and then quietly listened in on the discussions of the others. Although he liked to play chess too, his skills were mediocre, other than seeing that Mu Yiming was about to lose, he did not know what else.
Mu Yiming dragged his chin and thought for a moment, then laughed: "I lost."
"Brother Yiming, thank you." Mu Yu cupped his hands together, and turned to see Shen Jingli. Seeing him squeezed in the crowd and looking at chess, he could not help but frown: "Jinglee, why are you here? Jin Yu and his age, why didn't he follow? "
He stood up and gave Shen Jingli his seat, then started to chatter, "You're a woman, and you're pregnant, so why aren't you staying at home? Why are you running out and doing nothing? He even squeezed into a group of men to watch chess. What if he accidentally got hit by someone and hurt the child in his stomach? Zi An just left, and you're already so uncaring of your own body … "
Shen Jingli listened to him nagging nonstop like an old lady, and really wanted to stuff a lump of mud into his mouth. What kind of shitty woman? He's a man, too, okay? Moreover, he had only come out for a walk, so how could he not care about his body?
Shen Jingli looked at Mu Yu with a face full of black lines, thinking that this scholar was a really long-winded creature.
After talking for fifteen minutes, Mu Yu finally sat down. Mu Yiming quickly passed over a cup of tea to him and explained to Shen Jingli: "Thirteenth Brother, don't be too angry, Jinglee is probably bored staying at home, so he came out to walk around. Everyone in the village knows that Jinglee is pregnant and has warned those naughty kids that nothing bad will happen."
Hearing the first half, Shen Jingli thought that Mu Yiming really knew how to understand people, but hearing the second half, he immediately scrunched up his face. Did everyone know that he was pregnant already? Shen Jingli suddenly had a faint feeling of sadness, as if he had become a national treasure seeing animals.
"I promised Zi An that I would take good care of him." Mu Yu drank a cup of tea, and looked at Shen Jingli as if he hated him for not being able to win, "Remember to bring along Jin Yu or your prime in the future when you go out. You are the County Prince, how can you not bring your servants out …"
Again?
Shen Jingli propped up his chin, listening to Mu Yu's rambling with a look of helplessness. He really did not understand how the scholars of this era could lecture people like that. Aren't you afraid of dying?
Jin Yu returned from the kitchen and found that Shen Jingli had disappeared. She anxiously walked around, and after calling for Nian Hua, she rushed out to look for him.
"Madam, madam …" The two of them followed the route pointed out by the villagers and called out to them.
Hearing Jin Yu's and Nian Hua's shouts, Mu Yu's face once again darkened, and said seriously: "You didn't tell Jin Yu or Nian Hua, and you ran out yourself?"
He had already said how the servants who came out of the Western Mu Mansion were so ignorant, to actually allow a pregnant master to stroll around freely.
"Madam, why did you come out alone?" Jin Yu was frightened, she really did not know, if something happened to Shen Jingli, how would she explain it to the Old Master?
Shen Jingli looked at their nervous expressions, and then looked at Qing Sheng who had followed behind them while holding his stomach, and suddenly felt a little guilty. He said uncomfortably: "I'm fine, let's go back."
Jin Yu went over to help him up, and then continued to mutter. Shen Jingli's left ear went in and out of his right ear, and when he walked to Qing Sheng's side, he placed his hand on Yue Yang's shoulder, and comforted him with a pat.
