The wind is gentle and the fun is endless

Soon, Nanny Zhang and Doctor Shi came out of Madam Xie's bedroom. Everyone gathered around to ask about Madam Xie's condition. Doctor Shi stood in the middle, gently stroked his graying beard twice, waved his hand and said to everyone, "It's okay, it's okay. Madam Xu has internal heat attacking her heart, and she has caught a cold. I will prescribe some decoctions first. I will come back to check Madam's pulse in three days and adjust the prescription as appropriate then."

"Then I'll trouble you, Doctor Shi!" The second uncle bowed to Doctor Shi with both hands, and then stepped aside to make way for him, motioning him to go to the round table where paper and ink had been laid out. Doctor Shi sat down and wrote down the prescription, handing it to Aunt Zhang beside him. Then the second uncle extended his hand to make a gesture of invitation, and walked with Doctor Shi to the outside of the house, personally escorting him out of the house.

"My master has to worry and work hard in the Xu Mansion. Look, all the things happening outside have to be handled by my master." The second aunt could not hide her pride and said meaningfully.

The eldest aunt was not willing to show weakness, and said meaningfully: "In the future, these things should be handed over to the children step by step. Anyway, sooner or later, they will have to do it."

Second Aunt's eyes darkened, and she said, "Why is Sister-in-law suddenly so angry? Maybe someone is deliberately making trouble for her."

The eldest aunt smiled contemptuously and said leisurely, "The external cold will naturally cause internal heat and dryness. The doctor said it's okay, so others shouldn't worry too much. I think it's the kind of people who always have too much desire for things that don't belong to them who are most likely to get angry. Others will be fine if they get cold, but he will get sick very easily, and often because he is too worried, it's not easy to recover. Tsk, I say, people, don't have unreasonable expectations, otherwise getting sick is a small matter, but causing some trouble is troublesome."

The second aunt knew that her eldest sister was always sharp-tongued and she could not win the argument, so she simply stopped talking and looked to the other side with a stern face.

After arranging the preparation and boiling of the medicine, Nanny Zhang returned to the room and said to everyone, "Just now, after the doctor took Madam's pulse, she told me that she was fine and asked the eldest aunt, the second master, the young master, the young lady and the ladies not to worry. She felt very sorry for leaving everyone waiting outside, and the doctor told her to have a good rest, so please go back first.

Second Aunt was eager to get away from her eldest sister, so she pulled Xiangyin over and said to Aunt Zhang, "Then let the eldest sister-in-law have a good rest. I will come to see her when she is better. We will take our leave now."

Then the eldest aunt, Xu Qu and Huan Huan also said goodbye, saying that they would come to visit again another day. Xiang Yue did not leave in a hurry, but asked Aunt Zhang in detail about how Mrs. Xie caught a cold, and said some polite words to her, asking her to take good care of her mother.

Not far from Mrs. Xie's Jingyuan, the eldest aunt called Xu Qu and Huanhuan, or to be exact, called Huanhuan. Huanhuan was a little surprised to hear the eldest aunt calling her, and turned around with a bit of confusion, wondering what the eldest aunt wanted to talk to her about.

Xu Qu just kept walking forward, unaware of what was happening behind him.

The eldest aunt took a few steps forward slowly, looked Huanhuan up and down after approaching, and said, "Huanhuan, you have been married to our Xu family for a few months, right?"

Huanhuan felt that there must be some deeper meaning behind this question from her aunt, so she felt a little uneasy, but she could only answer truthfully: "Yes, aunt, it's almost three months."

My aunt said directly, "It's been so long, why haven't you gotten pregnant yet?"

I didn't expect my aunt to suddenly bring up this. I was stunned for a moment and didn't know how to answer.

As for Xu Qu, he walked forward for some distance and finally felt that Huanhuan was not catching up with him. He turned around and saw his aunt talking to Huanhuan, so he turned around and walked over here.

Seeing Huan Huan didn't say anything, the eldest aunt thought for a moment and said, "Are you ill?"

Huanhuan was about to open her mouth to explain, but her aunt stretched out her hand to signal her not to speak, and she continued, "I think when Doctor Shi comes again in three days, I'll ask him to check your pulse as well. That's it. Okay, I'm leaving now."

Without giving Xu Qu time to speak, the aunt walked towards him. When they met, she nodded as a response to his greeting, and then left.

Xu Qu walked up to Huanhuan and asked, "Madam, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell? I saw that my aunt just asked Doctor Shi to take your pulse."

Huanhuan was a little embarrassed and a little shy, and a little aggrieved. She lowered her head and said "nothing", and walked towards Xinyuan without caring whether Xu Qu saw her mouth shape. Although Xu Qu was puzzled, he saw that Huanhuan seemed a little angry, so he didn't dare to ask any more questions, and could only follow Huanhuan all the way back to Xinyuan.

Until the end of dinner, Huanhuan did not take the initiative to say a word to Xu Qu. Xu Qu, on the other hand, asked Huanhuan to look at his recent calligraphy practice, but Huanhuan did not comment; and then he told Huanhuan about his new book, but Huanhuan did not read it like a treasure as usual. In short, Huanhuan was in a bad mood, and she did not even touch the pork elbow that Xu Qu specially put in her bowl at dinner, which was her favorite.

After dinner, Xu Qu felt that he had run out of ideas to resolve Huanhuan's depression. After a careful analysis of what had happened, he concluded that Huanhuan had become so depressed after returning from Jingyuan, so Xu Qu asked sincerely, "Madam, why do you look so sad? What did your aunt say to you in Jingyuan today?"

Although she secretly admired that Xu Qu's guess was so accurate, how could Huan Huan agree with him? Wouldn't that be trying to sow discord between them?

She pursed her lips slowly and said, "Nothing."

Xu Qu said with a smile: "I asked the kitchen to make pork elbow for you for dinner. This is your favorite dish. Usually you always smile when you eat it, but today you didn't eat it at all and said it was fine."

Huanhuan listened to Xu Qu's words and was unable to refute them. She just lowered her head and said nothing.

Seeing her like this, Xu Qu continued, "I know my aunt. She always speaks bluntly and doesn't care about other people's feelings. If she says anything, don't take it to heart. I will tell her later to be careful when she speaks to you."

Huan Huan heard this and suddenly raised her head, waved her hands and said, "No, no, I'm not that squeamish!"

Xu Qu looked at her and asked, "Madam, can you tell me what did your aunt say to you outside Jingyuan today?"

After thinking about it slowly, she made up her mind, closed her eyes, half raised her head, raised her voice slightly, and said quickly: "My aunt asked me why I'm not pregnant yet, and asked Doctor Shi to see if there is any problem."

After saying that, she turned her head to one side, half-closed her eyes, and looked at the ground somewhat awkwardly.

These words were indeed beyond Xu Qu's expectations. He was stunned for a moment, and then was attracted by Huan Hua's shy look.

I saw that Huanhuan's little face, which was as white as mutton-fat jade in the past, now seemed to be covered with thick rouge, and was red all the way to the ears. Her eyelashes trembled, casting a half circle of shadows under her eyes, and her whole body revealed the discomfort.

Xu Qu just watched and gradually felt happy.

He reached out and held Huanhuan's arm. Huanhuan was confused by his sudden action. She looked up at Xu Qu in confusion, and met his meaningful eyes, which were sparkling with stars and overflowing with infinite tenderness.

For a moment, I was enveloped by this gaze, my mind went blank, and I didn't know what to think.

"Madam, how about we..." Xu Qu's eyes began to reveal a mischievous smile.

Suddenly, there was an urgent knock on the door, and at the same time a voice outside the door shouted, "Master! Madam! It's bad, Madam's illness has gotten worse, and her whole body is shaking uncontrollably!" Then he rushed into the room.
