Traveling through ancient times: living a different life

Led by their uncle, the three of them went to the backyard, sat down in the living room, and the two brothers put four boxes of gifts on the table.

Fourth uncle went to Fourth aunt's room. Two maids were tidying up the things on the table in the outer room. When they saw the county magistrate coming in, they hurried forward to greet him: "Master, you are back. Haven't you had lunch yet?"

"The young lady just fell asleep, and the lady is in there with her."

As soon as the maid finished speaking, Fourth Aunt heard it, got up from the bed, put her finger on her lips, said "Shh", and walked to Chen Qinghui with her hand on her stomach and whispered to the two maids and her husband, "Speak more quietly, Lian'er just fell asleep, you've been busy until now, you must be hungry, right? Go to the front hall and eat something first."

Fourth Uncle smiled as he walked over to support his wife, saying gently, "Yueyue is here, sitting in the living room outside, with two generals. She said she had delivered food and grass to General Zhu Jingtang, and when she learned that we were in Peng County, she came all the way to see us. We have grown up after not seeing each other for a few years, and we would definitely not recognize each other if we met on the street."

The couple came to the living room together. When Fourth Aunt saw Biyue, she called out affectionately, "It's Yueyue. You're here to see your Fourth Uncle. You've grown up so much and become a big girl. Fourth Aunt hasn't seen you for a few years and I miss you so much. You've changed a lot."

After sitting down in the living room, the fourth uncle said to his wife, "These two are Han Chengzhang and Han Luochen who came with Yueyue."

The two brothers greeted their aunt, who stood up and returned the greeting before saying, "You haven't had lunch yet. I'll ask the maid to go to the kitchen and bring the food over." After saying that, she told the maid beside her to go to the kitchen and asked someone to bring two more braziers to the dining room. After the food was served, the four of them went to another room and sat down to have lunch.

"Aunt Four, I didn't see Sister Lian'er at noon. Is she taking a nap?"

"Yes, I just went to bed. I'll be able to see it when I wake up in the afternoon."

Bi Yue talked to her uncle and his wife while eating. This was a habit she developed in the countryside. She didn't have the habit of not talking while eating or sleeping as in the rich families. Her aunt also knew that after marrying her uncle, she didn't think it was against the rules. Instead, she felt very close to them.

The fourth uncle used a serving chopstick to pick up food for the two brothers, "You must be starving, eat more, don't be polite."

Biyue only ate a little rice and vegetables and stopped eating. She felt very uncomfortable after eating too much. When Fourth Aunt saw this, she said to Biyue, "Yueyue, why did you only eat so little? Are you feeling uncomfortable? Or is the food not to your liking?"

Biyue winked at Fourth Uncle, who understood immediately. Knowing that Yueyue often transformed things from her space, he said to his wife, "Yueyue is full. She doesn't eat much at home."

"Yueyue, you ate less when you were with your family. Now that you have grown up, eat more and don't be picky about food, then your body will be healthier."

"Got it, Aunt Four. I'll eat more next time."

Luo Chen knew that Bi Yue had entered the Jindan stage and didn't eat much of these meals. Even if he knew, he couldn't say it explicitly. He could only eat his own meal and try not to be too greedy.

After eating, the fourth uncle and the fourth aunt asked the maid to take the three people to wash up, and then led them to their own rooms. The fourth aunt said to the three of them, "You have been traveling for several days, you must be very tired, go and have a good rest at noon."

The three of them agreed and went to rest in the rooms arranged by the servants.

Bi Yue got up at 3 p.m. in the afternoon, walked out of the room and came to Fourth Aunt's yard. When she entered the house, she saw Fourth Aunt, two maids, and a little girl there. There was a charcoal brazier burning in the house, which was very warm.

Biyue came over and called out, "Fourth Aunt,"

Seeing a cute little girl standing there, he asked Fourth Aunt, "Is this your daughter, my little sister, Chen Bilian?"

Fourth Aunt said to her daughter gently, "Lian'er, is this your sister? Call her Big Sister."

"Big sister." Lian'er's soft voice came.

"Lian'er is so good, come and let your sister hug you."

Lian'er kept staring at her sister, thinking that her sister was so beautiful and she liked her very much.

Seeing that Xiao Lian'er was staring at her, Bi Yue said to her, "Lian'er, do you want a gift? Sister brought you a lot of gifts. I will carry you to my room to get them now, okay?"

"it is good,"

After saying that, she carried Lian'er to her room. In the room, Biyue waved her hand and placed an order for some fluffy toys. Lian'er struggled to get off the bed, but when she saw five or six toys on the bed, her eyes lit up with joy.

Biyue took out a cloth bag, put all the toys in it, then carried Lian'er back to Fourth Aunt's room.

Putting the bag of toys on the chair next to her, Lianer took out two cute toys from the bag, a piglet and a giraffe, and held them in her hands, unable to let go. Fourth Aunt smiled and said, "You came and brought her so many toys."

"Children love these toys very much. Let her play with them. Look how happy our little Lian is!"

Bi Yue looked at Fourth Aunt's belly. It looked like she was about four or five months pregnant. "Fourth Aunt, I've studied medicine. Let me check your pulse."

"Okay, I heard from your fourth uncle that you studied medicine with Doctor Lin in the countryside."

Fourth Aunt stretched out her hand, Bi Yue put her hand on her pulse and began to detect with the Thousand Layer Mirror. Fourth Aunt was pregnant with a boy, who was in good health, and both mother and child were healthy.

Fourth Aunt stared at Biyue, looking a little nervous.

After reading it, I told her, "Don't be nervous, relax. Both you and your baby are healthy. This time it's a boy."

"This baby is really a boy, that's great, my second child is finally a son, I'm so happy."

Biyue also knew that people in ancient times had a serious preference for boys over girls. Moreover, Fourth Aunt’s first child was a daughter, so she must have a strong desire to have a son for the second one. Now she was satisfied.

After Fourth Aunt learned the good news today, she has been in a very good mood and the smile on her face has never faded.

At around five o'clock in the afternoon, which was the hour of You, the two brothers came back from outside, and Qinghui also returned home from the yamen. Everyone sat in the dining hall, the maids and old women brought the food to the table, and the six of them ate together around the table, in a lively atmosphere.

At night, Biyue went to the brothers' room and asked them what they were doing in the afternoon. Luo Chen said, "We went out to look around and see the people's livelihood in this county. This Peng County is well governed by your fourth uncle, and your fourth uncle is also a very good and honest official.

Are you two going out to investigate whether my fourth uncle is an honest official or a corrupt official? I don't need you to investigate, I know that my fourth uncle is a good official.

"Hahaha..." The three of them laughed, and Luo Chen said, "We have nothing to do in the mansion, so we'll go out and buy some gifts for your fourth uncle's family. You can't come to his house empty-handed during the New Year. You can buy the gifts for lunch from the gods, and we'll go out to buy them ourselves in the afternoon as a token of our appreciation."

"It's up to you. I see that Fourth Uncle's family is doing well. There's nothing to worry about. Let's go back to the barracks tomorrow!"
