Chapter 11 The monkey looks like his father

Jiang Shuyue forced herself to raise her eyes and look at the child that Aunt Su was carrying.

"Why...why does it look like this?"

Jiang Shuyue had never seen a newborn baby. Looking at the wrinkled little monkey, her beautiful eyebrows were twisted into knots.

Her looks are outstanding, does this monkey look like his father? !

Isn’t that right?

She clearly remembered that look, that guy's enchanting eyes.

This little monkey with edema and blind eyes looked nothing like that guy.

"Yue'er! You are inexperienced, but this child is so handsome!"

"Look at how handsome his eyebrows are, and his long hands and feet. He will definitely not be short in the future."

Seeing Aunt Su praising an ugly monkey like a flower, Jiang Shuyue was dubious.

"But...his skin is too red." Jiang Shuyue couldn't help but say.

"Newborn babies are all pink, and they will turn white slowly. Also, since they have just come out of the mother's belly, they have some moisture in their bodies and will look better as time goes by."

Qiu Ju nodded frequently after hearing this. The young lady is as beautiful as a flower, and the young master must be Yuxue's cute one.

Aunt Su's mood changed, and she looked at the child in her arms with distressed eyes and said, "What a pity, if his father were still alive, he would be so happy to see you brave all the hardships to give birth to such a lovely son for him."

"Ahem..."

Qiu Ju almost choked to death on her own saliva.

Qiu Ju secretly cursed that Aunt Su had been moved by this story for almost half a year.

The corners of Jiang Shuyue's mouth twitched fiercely, she blinked with a grimace, and a layer of mist formed in her eyes.

He said weakly: "No, the devil is not blessed."

"Don't be sad. Auntie is too talkative. I shouldn't mention your sadness."

When Aunt Su saw Jiang Shuyue's eyes sparkling with tears, she quickly shut up.

God knows, Jiang Shuyue felt sorry for the dead husband she made up. She felt pain.

It really hurts. How can giving birth not be painful?

In order to prevent others from gossiping, she made up a touching story for herself.

After her wedding, her husband went to the frontier and died as soon as he entered the battlefield.

Her mother's family wanted her to have an abortion and marry another woman, but she would rather die than obey. She pawned the dowry and ran away with her maid to give birth to her husband's only bloodline.

Aunt Su's whole family was convinced of her tragic experience, and even the tongue-tied woman in the village shed a handful of bitter tears for her.

"Sister Yue'er, are you okay? Eat the brown sugar eggs while they are hot." Su Hui walked in with a bowl of brown sugar eggs.

Su Huairen had already boiled the eggs and warmed them on the stove, and was waiting for the baby's cry to be delivered by Su Hui.

"Thank you sister Hui'er for your concern. The child is not very big, so I didn't suffer much."

Although Jiang Shuyue was not an obstetrician and gynecologist in her previous life, she did understand nutrition.

In this era when she wanted nothing, she was particularly afraid of having a difficult childbirth.

She insists on exercising every day and pays attention to balanced nutrition to keep her child at a healthy weight.

It only took half a day from when the amniotic water broke to when the baby landed.

Po Wen said that compared to many mothers, Jiang Shuyue's delivery was relatively smooth.

"Yue'er, don't move. Auntie is here to feed you."

Aunt Su put the child on Jiang Shuyue's other side. She picked up a pillow for Jiang Shuyue to lean on.

Qiu Ju saw beads of sweat still forming on the young lady's forehead, so she picked up the handkerchief and wiped it.

"Auntie, there's too much, I can't eat it."

Looking at the bowl full of eggs, Jiang Shuyue estimated that there were at least six or seven here.

"I just gave birth to a baby, and my stomach is empty. Eat as much as possible so that the baby can have milk to drink." Aunt Su said, scooping up a spoonful of brown sugar water and feeding it to her.

After taking a sip of brown sugar water, Jiang Shuyue felt that her throat felt much better.

"Sister, take your time, take your time, dad is cooking the medicine for breast milk." Su Hui leaned over and looked at the child with her eyes closed, her eyes full of curiosity and doting.

"Sister Yue'er, what's your nephew's name? Should he call me aunt or aunt?"

Su Hui wanted to put the child in her arms, but looking at the child who looked like a kitten, she was afraid that she could not hold it well.

Seeing her stretch out her hand and then retract it, Aunt Su ordered: "The child needs to sleep, don't disturb him, it would be better to name him later."

The custom here is to name the child after a hundred days, which means long life.

Seeing how Su Hui cared about the child, Jiang Shuyue said warmly: "My uncle and aunt treat me like a daughter. Sister Hui'er is my biological sister. Of course Xiaobao will call you aunt."

After Jiang Shuyue ate three brown sugar eggs, she couldn't eat anymore.

Aunt Su took away the extra pillow and said with concern: "Have a good sleep. Su Jin and Su Nan went to fish in the creek outside the village. When you wake up later, drink fish soup, and the baby will have milk."

"Don't sleep, don't sleep. I'm going to bring you some milk medicine. Uncle Lin said, if you drink his recipe, you can keep the baby for half an hour and you'll have milk."

Su Hui was afraid that the little baby would be hungry, so she turned and ran away.

The Uncle Lin she said was also a hard-working man. She didn't know his name, but everyone called him Lin Miaoshou.

He is also a doctor who lives here.

Lin Miaoshou has good medical skills. He said that when he went to the mountain to collect medicine, he tasted some medicine by mistake, which caused his eyesight to be blurred.

On weekdays, he makes a living by treating people. Since his eyes are not working well, he can write even with his eyes closed.

Lin Miaoshou has been in the village for some years. A matchmaker offered him a matchmaker, but he refused to do so, saying that he was a useless person and did not want to harm others.

After Jiang Shuyue came here, she occasionally saw him at Su's house.

Unexpectedly, he was so attentive, and Jiang Shuyue felt warm in her heart.

She said to Qiu Ju: "Go and boil more red eggs and deliver them to everyone later."

Since she came here, she has raised more than ten hens and two roosters.

When going to the market, she asked Qiu Ju to guard the mule cart. In fact, she hid in a deserted place and took out the chickens in the space.

The hens that drank the water from the spiritual spring laid an egg every day and never broke it.

Aunt Su's chickens were fed Lingquan water by Jiang Shuyue, and the same was true.

Every market day, Su Jin would take the eggs to the town to sell. Su Jin and his father also took on some book copying jobs. Life was much better than before.

As long as Jiang Shuyue doesn't sell medicinal materials, she doesn't need to go to Zhuxi County.

There is a small town half an hour away from the village.

When Jiang Shuyue was one month pregnant, she stopped going to the market. She asked Su Jin to drive the mule cart to the town.

Every market day, Lin Miaoshou would go to town to set up a stall. Su Jin always brought Lin Qiu Miaoshou with him. Perhaps he kept this affection on Jiang Shuyue's head.

After a while, Su Hui brought the soup.

Jiang Shuyue took a sip, and the decoction had a faint sweet taste.

"Sister, drink quickly. Don't burn your mouth. Dad put it in a ladle and used well water to cool it down."

Su Hui urged Jiang Shuyue as she saw Jiang Shuyue drinking in small sips.

Her nephew was still hungry and she was very anxious.

Watching Jiang Shuyue drink it all, she stared at the little guy for a while before reluctantly leaving.

Seeing Qiu Ju busy in the kitchen, Aunt Su said warmly to Jiang Shuyue: "Go to sleep quickly. The child will have milk to drink when he wakes up."

…

In the palace of Prince Yannan.

Xiao Jingzhao lay on the small couch in the study and took a nap.

A cute child from Yuxue giggled and threw herself into his arms.

"Daddy!"

Xiao Jingzhao woke up with a start.
