Farmer Fubo is open for business

Chang Ning was shocked to see someone so brazen and dared to rob a silk shop in the street in broad daylight, and his beautiful eyes widened.

"So you are a group of robbers?" She couldn't help complaining.

The young man's face turned redder and he stammered in explanation: "The imperial court owes my family a salary for almost two years, and there is nothing we can do."

Their whole family depended on that little Lumi, but the county government kept delaying the closure of the city and couldn't give it to them.

Lieutenant Feng Guo's annual rice is 200 shi, which is about 24,000 jin when converted into pounds. This may seem like a lot, but it is difficult to feed a large family with these years of rice.

You should know that Lumi also includes daily expenses, clothes and shoes for the whole family, food and clothing for servants, courtesy exchanges with other families, etc.

Moreover, these members of the clan could not take the imperial examinations or do business or engage in crafts. All their sources of income depended on the annual rice given by the court.

This also leads to the fact that if there is a prodigal son in the family, the family will soon fall into decline, and there are even cases where the clan is reduced to begging for a living.

"Then you can't rob other people's silk and satin shops? They don't owe you a salary." Chang Ning is not very experienced in the world and dares to be naked in everything.

Upon seeing this, Chang An quickly grabbed his sister and walked home. As he walked, he said, "We can't afford to offend these people. Come home quickly!"

The young man felt sad as he watched the girl being pulled away until she disappeared.

Although he occupies a clan status, he is not allowed freedom. He even came to Ansai because his grandfather was so angry that he brought them out to ask for an explanation.

Chang'an returned home, and Lu Jingzhou also came back.

He pinched his brows tiredly and said, "General Feng Guo and his family came here to make trouble today. The county government where they were located couldn't give them that much rice, so they came to Ansai to make trouble."

Chang An breathed a sigh of relief: "I really thought the gangsters had entered the city at that time." It turned out to be a false alarm.

"They are more difficult to deal with than the gangsters." Lu Jingzhou said: "You can't beat them, you can't scold them. Now you can only report them to the court and see what happens there."

Just before, hundreds of clan members entered the city and almost robbed the official rations.

No matter how hard I tried, they refused to leave and even went to stay at an inn. They probably would have continued fighting without giving me an explanation.

"Well, it's almost the Chinese New Year. If those people continue to make trouble, the people in the city will be panicked." Mrs. Jiang said.

Wu: "No, in such a cold weather, what if those children get cold and sick?"

She heard from her daughter that among the people grabbing things, there were many children of several years old. She didn't know what their parents thought, so that they allowed such young children to come out and cause trouble.

"We don't care about them anymore, come and eat quickly." Mrs. Jiang put the food on the table and invited everyone to sit down and eat.

I also steamed a fish today with coriander and chopped green onion sprinkled on top. It looked very delicious.

For some reason, Chang An started to feel nauseous as soon as he smelled this smell.

She quickly ran out of the house, took a breath, and breathed in the cool air before she recovered.

Mrs. Jiang came out and saw her daughter so surprised and happy. She quickly asked in a low voice: "Have you been here when you were a child? Are you pregnant?"

Chang'an was helpless: "Mom, the fish you steamed was too fishy, ​​and you must have not added ginger."

"What kind of ginger should I put in? If you get pregnant, wouldn't it conflict with ginger because it promotes blood circulation?" Mrs. Jiang said angrily.

The mother and daughter walked back to the house and saw Yang and Lu Jingzhou looking at them with burning eyes.

"Chang'an, please go back and ask a doctor to take your pulse." Lu Jingzhou had hope in his eyes.

Wu: "You really need to take a pulse. If it does happen, you should be careful about eating vegetables. You can't eat rabbits and eels, and you can't eat venison and deer meat."

Changan nodded: "Okay."

Just ask for a pulse. She has been feeling uncomfortable recently, and her heart seems to be filled with a tight breath, which is very uncomfortable.

Just after dinner, Changan felt a little sleepy, so he went back to the house and lay down.

Lu Jingzhou tiptoed in and sat on the bedside to look at her.

"What are you doing?" Changan opened one eye and asked.

Lu Jingzhou smiled softly and held a candied haws in his hand: "Here, I happened to meet him when I went out to treat the doctor, so I bought a few."

Chang'an couldn't help but salivate when he saw the candied haws.

He took one and took one, then brought it to Lu Jingzhou's mouth: "Try one too."

Lu Jingzhou lowered his head and bit down, then smiled and said, "Since you like it, wait until I find the vendor and ask him to send some over every day."

Changan nodded and slowly ate the candied haws.

After a while, the doctor came with a medicine box on his back.

After taking the pulse, the doctor smiled and said, "Congratulations, Mr. Lu, Madam, this is a happy pulse."

Lu Jingzhou's eyes lit up.

Mrs. Yang was also overjoyed and quickly took out the red seal she had prepared long ago and gave it to the doctor: "Thank you very much, doctor. A little kindness is not a sign of respect."

The doctor accepted it happily, stroking his beard and said: "Madam, you should not eat any tonic foods during this period, nor should you eat spicy or other spicy foods. It is best to eat a light diet. Once the fetus is past three months, there is no need to deliberately avoid food. ”

"Thank you for letting me know." Yang thanked him again.

After sending the doctor away, Lu Jingzhou lay happily beside his wife, hugging her and falling asleep.

Until this moment, Changan still felt strange about having a child in his belly.

At the same time, you also wonder what your child will look like when he comes out?

Alas, what if I die in childbirth?

Lu Jingzhou will definitely marry again. Can he treat this child well?

These problems have plagued Changan throughout her pregnancy.

During this period, General Fengguo, who came to cause trouble, was fined one year's salary by the emperor and ordered to return to his fiefdom immediately.

In October of another year, Chang'an suddenly launched an attack.

While she was standing under the persimmon tree watching her fourteen-year-old sister pick persimmons, her amniotic fluid suddenly broke.

Chang'an was still wondering why he peed his pants when he couldn't hold it in, so he heard his mother scream and quickly helped her back to the house to lie down.

"Ouch! Why are there no signs at all? Go and ask for Po Wen!" Mrs. Jiang was so anxious that she ordered Lu Jingzhou to ask for Po Wen.

He also ordered the little maids to boil water and prepare wooden basins, diapers, and blankets.

Changan soon felt a stomachache.

The pain was no less than being stabbed with a knife.

She couldn't help but scream, which made Lu Jingzhou, who was waiting at the door of the house, his eyes turned red, and he rushed in regardless of everyone's obstruction.

Lu Jingzhou held Chang An's head and comforted him over and over again: "Be good, we will never give birth again."

Po Wen couldn't help but smile and said, "This is the first time that I see my husband care about his wife so much. Madam, I am so lucky."

Not long after, the child was born smoothly.

"Oh! It's a young lady." Wen Po picked up the baby's feet and patted the baby's butt, causing the baby to cry loudly.

Afterwards, the child's umbilical cord was cut, tied with a thin cotton rope, and then weighed.

"Five pounds and five taels, the little lady is a dog."

Po Wen said with a smile, wrapped the baby into a candle bag and handed it to Chang An: "Come, feed her."
