After entering the territory of Jiazhou, according to what the carriage dealer said, the handsome young man got off the carriage next to the Suzi Temple with a maid and a boy with a shrill voice.

On the way, I vaguely heard that they would stay here for two days and then go to Shushan Emei.

Lu Lingchuan rode without stopping, leading Zhao Li to ride towards Emei again.

This is a Taoist holy land with steep terrain, and it is also the hometown of Shen Yao’s mother. Calculating the time, she should still be staying here at this time.

Shen Yao spent two days touring Jiazhou, worshiping the Giant Buddha, and eating all the local delicacies four or five times a day.

After entering this beautiful mountain and beautiful water, she had already made up her mind to buy a spacious and sunny yard here, and then live there and raise her baby with peace of mind.

"Miss, I asked the local security chief to look at these places. It's the Jinshi's residence across the Jiazhou River, facing the Big Buddha, with outstanding people."

Chun Nong said happily, "There is a large open space behind the yard, and we can hire farmers to grow flowers and vegetables."

Shen Yao was not used to living in inns. When she saw a suitable residence, she was very quick to do so.

"In that case, let's buy it. After cleaning it, you can move in."

Chun Nong got the order from the young lady and happily led Xiao Xizi to go to the mayor and the landlord to sign documents.

The security guard and neighbors here are enthusiastic and help with cleaning and cleaning.

So, in less than two hours, a five-door courtyard was cleaned, and after buying new bedding, Shen Yao moved in.

Early in the morning, Shen Yao was lying on a rattan bench in the garden of the house.

She half held her face up, like a lazy cat, squinting her eyes, stroking her slightly bulging belly, and basking in the sun leisurely.

Strangely enough, after entering Jiazhou, her health improved a lot and she no longer had such severe morning sickness. In particular, locals love to eat the spicy local tofu curd.

"Chun Nong, have you heard the shouts of the vendors carrying laden bags passing by in the alley?"

When she thought of the spicy taste, Shen Yao couldn't help but swallow.

"You're pregnant, why are you so eager for this bite?" Chun Nong joked,

"It seems that the old man has something to do at home. He has returned to the countryside these days. I followed the boss's wife and learned how to cook boiled pork. When the rice is steamed, I will bring it to you. I also mixed it with crispy green vegetables, which is the best. Appetizing.”

"The letter to my father's flying pigeon should have arrived. Knowing that I am in Jiazhou should make him feel more at ease. Here, my mother's spirit in heaven is protecting me."

Shen Yao turned over lazily and continued to lazily bask in his belly.

"I don't know when the old man will come back. Go and find out quickly. What will I do if he doesn't come back soon?"

When it was time for dinner, Shen Yao was still thinking about eating.

"Hey, I've thought about it. If the old man can't come back for a while, I'll go to the tofu shop and learn how to make tofu flowers."

Chun Nong comforted her.

The young lady that I have watched grow up since childhood is still pregnant with the young lady or the young master. If she wants to eat such snacks from the market, she will try her best to make it happen.

"You are the best!"

After receiving Chun Nong's assurance, Shen Yao rolled comfortably on the Teng-made recliner, holding her belly.

"My little ancestor, you must be gentle!" Although Shen Yao only rolled half a turn, he was still confused.

"Haha, I'm fine!"

Shen Yao hurriedly comforted her, holding Chun Nong with one hand and gently touching her belly with the other. Because she became a mother, her face was filled with the soft light of sanctity and tranquility.

"Buy tofu pudding and dandan noodles!"

The familiar cries echoed through the wall in the alley again.

"Quick, open the corner door."

Shen Yao hurriedly shouted, "Uncle, I want to eat tofu pudding!"

"Don't worry, I'll let the old man come in."

The corner door opened, and Chun Nong led an old man carrying a load in.

Shen Yao's expression was dull for a moment.

Behind the old man, a familiar man smiled at her gracefully and walked in with his long legs.

Shen Yao couldn't believe her eyes.

She stammered and asked, "Ming, brother Mingguang, why are you here?"

Xue Yue stood still and saluted her, "Sister Yao, are you okay?"

"I'm very good. Brother Mingguang, what about you? You went to the border and made great achievements for the country and the people. Yao'er is here to return the favor to you."

Shen Yao and Chun Nong quickly went to make tea, but a pair of eyes inadvertently looked at the tofu cake in the old man's hand, which was filled with red spicy oil and green green onion.

Xue Yue took the small white porcelain bowl from the old man's hand and handed it to Shen Yao. He also took out a dime of silver from his purse and handed it to the old man, saying with a smile, "No need to look for it."

The old man was frightened and said, "Sir, this money is too much. I can even buy the old man's stall. I can't accept it."

Xue Yue smiled and said, "My sister likes to eat the old man's craftsmanship, and she asks the old man to bring it every day. Any extra money should be treated as advance payment."

"Give me a bowl of tofu curd and these dandan noodles, too. I'll also try the local specialties of Jiazhou."

Xue Yue took a bite and then praised the old man, "Old man, your craftsmanship is really good! No wonder my sister likes it so much."

Shen Yao ate a bowl of tofu curd, and her lips turned red. At this time, she heard what Xue Yue said to the old man, and she felt very clear in her heart.

The old man happily picked up the burden and left.

She asked, "Brother Mingguang, how did you find this place?"

"Sister Yao, I intend to leave the court and travel around the world. The Grand Master also urged me to come to Bashu to visit you on his behalf."

"I thought there were too many people in Chengdu County, so I came to Jiazhou first to wait."

Xue Yue smiled brightly. He didn't tell Shen Yao that he secretly left the capital in order not to worry her.

"I was just thinking about renting a house in Jiazhou City, but it happened. The owner of this yard was once a second-class Jinshi during the late emperor's time. His grandson, a lackey of cockfighting, is now reduced to selling this ancestral house. Homesteading has become a hotly discussed topic in Jiazhou during this period.”

"Who knows, I heard that a young master with a capital accent took a step ahead of me and bought this big yard with his servants."

Xue Yue touched his palms and laughed.

If Shen Yao hadn't bought this house, he wouldn't have been able to meet her.

Chun Nong brought tea and it was already dinner time, "Xue Xiaohou, Miss, it's noon, let's have dinner together in the flower hall."

Shen Yao stood up from the chair and made a "please" gesture towards Xue Yue.

Only then did Xue Yue see that Shen Yao's abdomen was slightly bulging. Chun Nong supported her and walked leisurely but very carefully step by step.

"Yao'er,..."

Xue Yue clenched his fists, and his fingertips turned white for a moment.

Shen Yao stopped when she heard the voice calling her.

Looking back, he saw Xue Yue's face was solemn, and his eyes were dark and deep.

Shen Yao smiled proudly and stroked her belly gently, "Brother Mingguang, you should congratulate me, I'm going to be your mother."
