Chapter 151 The brilliance of fatherhood?
It was like a slack machine was re-wound, Zhou Zhe didn't dare to have the slightest chance.
The thunderstorms in Wudu City and Lin'an City can be said to be "God Bless the Wu Dynasty", but the thunderstorm in front of the Hall of Mental Cultivation is equivalent to telling him.
God blesses Wu Chao, not Zhou Zhe.
Zhou Zhe, who was already cowardly, was terrified by the thunderbolt in front of the Hall of Mental Cultivation. He didn't dare to gamble on whether God would spare him the next time God punished him.
Zhou Ji, who was thousands of miles away, didn't know how far this shot would affect the emperor of Wudu City. At this time, he was still looking worriedly at Su Tan'er, who was a little motion sick, From time to time, use internal force to soothe her discomfort.
Strange to say, since the Lou family was attacked more than ten days ago, Su Tan'er's body has become much weaker. It is usually fine, and it seems that the impact is not big, but on the way back, even if she is in a carriage, she will feel sick from time to time. The dizziness and nausea seem to be similar to the symptoms of motion sickness.
Considering her body, Zhou Ji walked very slowly on the way back. It took a day or two to go, and five days to go back.
Back to the mansion, the two first met with Mr. Su, and then went to sit in the big room for a while.
Calculated, this trip to Lin Anzhi took a full 20 days, and this was Su Tan'er's first time traveling far away. When Yao Ping heard the news that her daughter and son-in-law had returned, how could she care about playing cards?
Immediately pushed Shisanyao, who was missing three doors, and ran home with Madam Li while Mrs. Li and Mrs. Wang were exclaiming.
Listening to Su Tan'er and Yao Ping holding small hands and talking on the bed, Zhou Ji sat in embarrassment opposite Su Boyong with big eyes and small eyes, repeating chatting, chatting to death, changing the topic, and again and again. The dilemma of chatting to death.
However, the eyes of the two of them glanced to the side of the screen from time to time, looked at each other inadvertently, and their hearts widened.
When the children go out, it is natural to report the good news but not the bad news. Su Tan'er picked up some experiences to share with Yao Ping, and directly omitted the part about Lou Shuheng's rude words and the bandits breaking into Lou's house.
Yao Ping couldn't help but sighed when she heard about the sudden death of the Lou family's only son-in-law, but seeing her daughter's slightly pale face, she burst into tears of distress.
Zhou Ji noticed the scolding gaze cast by his mother-in-law, and quickly got up to apologize. Su Tan'er also defended that it was just motion sickness on the way, and he would be fine after a few days of rest.
After all, Yao Ping, as a mother, has experience in this area. She faintly sensed something wrong from Su Tan'er's description. She glanced at Su Boyong and Zhou Ji, who were eavesdropping, pulled Su Tan'er aside, and whispered: "Do you like to eat sour these days?"
Su Tan'er didn't understand why Yao Ping was so obsessed, she tilted her head, and said thoughtfully, "It seems to be a little bit"
"Then tell mother honestly, is this month's menstrual event coming?" Yao Ping's wide-eyed eyes seemed to glow with a strange look, and she even held her breath for a while, asking full of anticipation.
With Zhou Ji's hearing ability, the distance is less than ten meters. Even if he doesn't use his internal energy to eavesdrop, he can still hear the conversation between Yao Ping and Su Tan'er.
Speaking of which, Tan'er's menstrual event is almost a few days before the beginning of the month, and now it's the fifth day of the month, so it should have come.
Is it difficult?
Zhou Ji's pupils trembled, and he turned his head to look at Su Tan'er. At this moment, Su Tan'er seemed to realize something, and at the same time turned his head to look at him.
The two people's eyes met, one was shocked with some uneasiness hidden, and the other was full of joy and expectation.
Su Tan'er didn't notice the strangeness in Zhou Ji's eyes at this time, and said with a blushing face: "It stands to reason that I should have arrived two days ago."
"That is to say, it hasn't arrived yet?" Yao Ping's face immediately showed ecstasy, and said, "Hurry up, hurry up and ask the doctor, you two, you are so grown-up, why don't you understand anything?"
"What hasn't arrived? What doctor? Is Tan'er sick?"
Su Boyong was taken aback by Yao Ping's startled behavior. He didn't have Zhou Ji's hearing ability. From his perspective, he only saw Yao Ping and Su Tan'er biting their ears for a while, and suddenly they looked excited. I'm going to ask the doctor.
Yao Ping didn't have time to explain to Su Boyong at all, and directly urged Geng Nursing House who didn't know where he was, "Why are you still standing there? Go!"
Geng Nursing Academy stood at the door, not understanding what was going on, but hearing Yao Ping's agitated tone, he knew that this matter should not be delayed, so he hurried out of the courtyard.
Now the Su family can be regarded as the leader of the Jiangning cloth line. To hire a doctor, it is natural to invite the best doctor.
In half an hour, the most famous doctor in Jiangning City was helped down from the carriage. He was knocked out of his wits along the way. He first helped the tree outside to calm himself down. Geng Nuyuan dragged and dragged 'invite' into the gate of the mansion.
At this time, Su Tan'er has also returned to his small courtyard, and Su Zhongkan and Su Wenxing, who got the news from nowhere, also rushed over. Except for the old man Su praying for his granddaughter in the ancestral hall, for a while, it seemed a little strange at first. The spacious and empty wing room was already full of people.
Everyone's eyes were fixed on the subtle changes in the old doctor's expression, and the old doctor who had practiced medicine for many years naturally kept the slightest hint of emotion.
Not long after, he withdrew his hand from the wrist of the woman opposite.
"How is it? Are you happy?" Yao Ping asked impatiently.
The old man glanced at the crowd, nodded slightly, and said with a smile, "Congratulations, madam, congratulations, madam. There is no doubt that I am happy."
Su Tan'er folded her hands gently on her lower abdomen. Although there was no movement in her stomach, she still felt a new life was quietly being born in her body.
Missy is happy!
In less than a cup of tea, the news spread throughout the Su manor. The smiling Yao Ping was even more generous. The servants in the mansion, regardless of whether they were in the first room or the second room, got a lot of rewards. The horses were fed half a bucket of soybeans...
Zhou Ji personally sent the old man out of the door, stuffed a silver coin into his hand, and then stood outside the mansion, watching him leave.
Walking down the steps step by step, Zhou Ji walked to the middle of the stone road, looked back at the laughing Su Mansion, and felt an inexplicable panic for a moment.
Scenes of the childhood experience in his memory are playing back before his eyes. Since he can remember, his parents have scolded and insulted each other for various trivial things, and sometimes even fought.
The eight-year experience of Wulin Gaiden did not seem to erase the shadow of childhood; the farewell in modern society was not as completely relieved as imagined.
Some scars will not be forgotten due to the passage of time, they are just hidden in the deepest part of the memory, festering and inflamed a little bit.
Because of the influence of his native family, Zhou Ji has been in a very twisted state.
Always resisting other people's kindness to him, not wanting to hurt others, but always hurting others.
Now, when he heard the news of Su Tan'er's pregnancy, the first thing he thought of was not the joy of becoming a father, but the anxiety about whether he could be a good father.
Standing quietly in the middle of the road, Zhou Ji's heart became more and more confused as people came and went on the street.
Looking up, a familiar figure came slowly from the door, wearing a light blue tulle skirt, gently swaying in the early winter breeze, Su Tan'er brushed away a strand of hair that had slipped from behind her ear, As soon as she opened her mouth, before she could speak, Zhou Ji stepped out, crossed the street, walked up the steps, took off his coat, and put it on her body.
"The weather is getting colder, be careful."
Zhou Ji lowered his head to look at Su Tan'er's worried eyes, opened his arms and took her into his arms, and said in relief: "It's okay, it's okay~"
Zhou Ji himself didn't know whether these words were comforting Su Tan'er or himself.
But Su Tan'er could feel Zhou Ji's strange emotions. Although she hadn't heard Zhou Ji mention anything about her childhood, she had noticed the fleeting look in Zhou Ji's eyes since she had just learned that she was pregnant. disturbed.
Obviously just less than two months pregnant, Su Tan'er seemed to have been a mother for many years. She tiptoed and gently stroked the top of Zhou Ji's head, imitating his words, "It's okay~ It's okay~"
Zhou Ji subconsciously wanted to avoid it, but he relaxed the moment Rou Yi lightly touched the top of his head, and joked, "Is this the legendary 'maternal glory'?"
Although Su Tan'er didn't understand the meaning of maternity brilliance, she could see a hint of teasing in Zhou Ji's eyes that gradually calmed down, and couldn't help laughing out loud, patted Zhou Ji's head lightly, and withdrew her palm Said, "Then you have to work hard to have the so-called 'paternal glory' sooner~"
"Haha~" Zhou Ji grabbed Su Tan'er's palm, interlocked his fingers, and said with a chuckle, "How can there be any glory of fatherhood? I have never heard such a word."
"But I haven't heard of the brilliance of motherhood?" Su Tan'er held Zhou Ji's hand, Zhou Ji's figure was reflected in her clear eyes, "Since you can make up 'maternal brilliance', why not How about another 'Father's Glory'?"
"Glory of motherhood is not something I made up." Zhou Ji replied subconsciously, but halfway through the sentence, he realized what Su Taner meant, and couldn't help but smiled wryly, "Okay, then I'll try to make it up. "
Su Tan'er could tell that Zhou Ji was actually joking with her, but she still hummed softly and gave Zhou Ji a blank look.
The two talked and laughed and returned to the wing room. Yao Ping, who was hiding on the side of the corridor and looking this way, finally breathed a sigh of relief, and carefully told Xiao Chan and Geng Nuyuan to evacuate as soon as possible.
Jinghan eight years of the Wu Dynasty, early.
The New Year of the Su family was extremely lively.
This is also Zhou Ji’s true sense of spending the New Year in one world.
From the third month onwards, Su Tan'er began to show some signs of pregnancy, and the pregnancy reaction that had been tossing her for more than a month finally showed a tendency to ease. On the other hand, the thieves outside Lin'an City were also suppressed by the court this month. It has been included and dealt with accordingly.
The hidden dangers in the south of the Yangtze River have been eliminated, and the gunpowder in Lin'an City has been continuously transported to the northern battlefield.
The remnants of the Liang State formed a temporary alliance with the Northern Expeditionary Army of the Wu Dynasty. Although they suffered heavy losses in the battle with Yasukuni, the Yasukuni Army has been out for more than a year.
Whether it is the huge loss of food and materials or the mental and physical strength of the soldiers, they are almost reaching their limits.
More importantly, it was rumored that during the palace banquet at the end of the year, Bai Lihong suddenly vomited blood and fell into a coma. Although he has been fine recently, and he is still threatening to conquest himself, anyone with a discerning eye can see that his body is no longer as good as before. .
Coupled with the frequent signs of nosebleeds, there seems to be some kind of different voice in Yasukuni, which he suppresses and controls.
In the blink of an eye, half a year has passed.
Zhou Ji's original anxiety and uneasiness gradually faded with Su Tan'er's gradually growing belly. Every time he saw Su Tan'er's swollen belly and listened to the sound of fetal movement, he would feel an unprecedented emotion in him. The bottom of my heart sprouts and spreads.
This emotion made him feel extra at ease and stable.
Now he is beginning to truly integrate into this era, into the identity of being a husband and a father.
The shadow of childhood is still there, but he no longer covers it up, but uses it as a lesson to avoid the tragedy from happening again.
Su Tan'er is about to give birth in one month, and there are not many things to say about the family.
During this period, apart from Yao Ping who came to take care of Tan'er every day, Su Zhongkan and Su Wenxing and his son came to the courtyard the most.
Because the cloth dyeing techniques of this era are all derived from various plant and mineral dyes, Zhou Ji has not allowed her to go to the dyeing workshop since she returned to Jiangning.
As for the business of the cloth line, because of the increase in pregnancy, Su Tan'er can only hand it over to the second room to take care of it, but she will ask for the daily accounts to look over in person.
Perhaps because of reciprocity, the second room also often sent some tonics, and even several boxes of various items for confinement, which were sent one after another. I am afraid that Su Tan'er was pregnant for three years. Sitting for three years.
Zhou Ji and Su Tan'er are well aware of their careful thinking, but the palm prints are still here with Su Tan'er, and there is Zhou Ji who often watches over Buxing, so they are not afraid of any tricks from these two tools. Come.
On Qin Yuyuan's side, because of the rapid changes in the war in the north in the past six months, he couldn't spare time to visit Zhou Ji in Jiangning. Last time, he was worried that his cronies didn't know Zhou Ji well, so he neglected him, so he went to visit Zhou Ji on purpose. Please ask Lu Hong to ask her to invite Zhou Ji on her behalf.
It's a pity that after the incident in Lin'an City, Lu Hongti gradually lost her relationship with the secret investigation department. According to the last information, she seems to have gone to the old Luliang area in the Jingguo territory in the past few months, and got in touch with Liu Dabiao there. , seems to be preparing some plan, intending to start a riot.
Because of his trust in Lu Hongti, Qin Yuyuan believed that she would not do anything to betray the Wu Dynasty, and even more believed that she would keep it a secret, and would never dare to reveal the truth about Fang Tianlei's death to Liu Dabiao.
In the Liang Dynasty, the capital of the country fell, and most of the clan was killed or injured. Although with the help of the Wu Dynasty, the Yasukuni army was retreated with one click in the past six months, its own national strength has been severely damaged, and it has been completely reduced to a vassal of the Wu Dynasty.
