Jian An Kee

Note 1: Strictly speaking, the custom of viewing lanterns during the Lantern Festival originated in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, and occasionally occurred in the Han, Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties. It did not become a custom, but was fabricated for plot needs

Note 2: Made in Han Dynasty, with seven coats of arms embroidered on the crown of the Marquis

When I woke up at that time, the first thing I saw was the blue bed curtain, which was my own bedroom.I thought about stretching out my fingers to open the bed curtain, but it felt like a knife had been pierced into my heart. It hurt so badly, I couldn't help taking a breath of cold air with a "hiss", alarming the maid outside to lift the bed curtain, and then There was a sound of footsteps, and a female voice said: "Hurry up and report to the general, Madam has woken up."

My eyes were very swollen, and it took me a lot of effort to open them, so I simply closed them again, feeling at a loss in my mind: Has Du Minghan left, and has he successfully taken away the blood contract that was imposed on my body?

Seeing that I was about to get up, the maid hurriedly came forward: "Madam, no, the doctor ordered, your blood is stagnant in your heart, you must have a good rest, and you must not get up."

Blood stasis in the heart... Good guy, what kind of disease is this?I wondered to myself.

"The general is here." Several maids outside greeted in unison, followed by the sound of leather boots stepping on the carpet.I made up a mess in my head, and smiled at Sun Quan, who was sitting by the bed: "This is weird, I fell asleep soundly, and actually passed out."

Sun Quan frowned, and his face became darker when he heard the words: "Excuse me, I don't know which guy didn't eat at night, didn't cover the quilt at night, and slept at the end of the bed all night. It's good now, he caught a cold and has a fever."

I looked at him carefully, and saw that his face was the same, and his heart was half relieved, so he made a "squeak" and said, "How dare you talk about this! You are drunk and hold on to my clothes, why am I so sleepy?" At the end of your bed."

He coughed and said to the maids on both sides: "You go down first."

I tried to smile, but I didn't expect the sharp pain in my chest: "What do you mean by blood stasis and heart? My chest hurts so badly."

A look of unnaturalness flashed across his face, and he turned his gaze away: "It's nothing, the doctor said that your postpartum care is not very good, so you have some blood gas disease, but fortunately, you will be fine after taking the medicine for a year or two, don't worry gone."

I pretended to be apologetic: "I always worry you, but I never thought that catching a cold would also cause chest pain."

After resting for two days, my health improved. On the day of Shangyuan Festival, I took a nap in the room to take a bath, and Sun Quan walked straight in.I cursed with a smile, squatted in the wooden barrel and splashed him with water, and shouted to the maid outside the screen: "Where did you get the scoundrel, hurry up and get out with me!"

The maid lowered her head and suppressed a smile, but was waved back by Sun Quan.

He took a step forward and said courteously: "I'm here to wipe my wife's back alone, will my wife agree?"

I wanted to tease him to take a step closer and splash more water on him, but suddenly I saw myself in the floor-to-ceiling bronze mirror, with blue patterns all over my body spreading from my waist.

The room was very warm, but I broke out in a cold sweat, my back was stiff and straight, and I forced a smile: "No, the general will wait for me outside first."

He shook his head, and quickly took the cloth from his hand, I buried myself in the petals desperately, with a horrifying expression on my face.

He smiled, but with a puzzled look on his face, his finger moved a little closer to my shoulder.

Damn!

Ever since Sun Li was born, that bullshit tattoo has not appeared in the world for a long time. Even if Dong Yuan pointed out the location of the tattoo on my body, I didn't panic at all. The bad thing is that it didn't appear sooner or later, and it chose to run out when Sun Quan was around.

He began to calculate the possibility of being burned to death as a banshee in his mind, his muscles stiffened, and his fingers turned white when pinched against the edge of the barrel.

At this critical moment, Sun Quan stopped, pointed his finger on my shoulder, and smiled gently: "See, you are afraid, are you so unaccustomed to being served by others, then I will go out and wait."

These words sounded like the sound of heaven to me, I hurriedly nodded in embarrassment, watched him turn the screen, and just let out the breath I was holding in my chest, and wiped off the water or sweat on my face.

After bathing and getting out of the water to change clothes, I wrapped long cotton gauze as a bath towel, and wrapped my fat winter robe and shawl with lightning speed.

"Why did you come out with wet hair?" Sun Quan was standing in the middle hall, holding the copper hand stove and looking at the paintings hanging in the hall, seeing me coming out, he said with a smile.

I smiled weakly: "I'm afraid you'll be in a hurry. What do you want from me?"

He looked at me reproachfully, put down the hand stove, and took the handkerchief from the hand of the maid beside him: "I'll replace you."

I was amazed at his hospitality today, and pushed his hand: "Have you committed a crime? Why are you being so gentle to me? Don't take it."

He wiped my hair vigorously, and said on top of my head: "You care too much, I'm just happier today."

I chuckled and laughed: "Okay, pretend I don't know? You left all the ceremonies of Shangyuan Day to Mr. Zhang Zibu, and ran to my room to hide for leisure. Are you happy this time?"

He was probably nodding, distracted, and tore my hair.My legs were still weak, so I sat down on the mattress and grabbed the handkerchief: "I'll do it myself, you quickly ask someone to clean it up, there will be a lantern show (Note 1) as usual in the evening, you have to preside over it."

"It's just like that over the years, so it's fine if you don't go. On the contrary, you have never seen you go to see the excitement, so you won't go this year?"

I smiled guiltyly and said, "I'm very busy. I'll go to grandma's house to say hello later, and then we can go and see. I'm too lazy to join in the excitement of the men."

He looked at me sadly, if it was the past, I might have softened my heart and agreed to go with him, but today I have a ghost on my body, so I didn't dare to take it seriously, so I went back to the inner room with excuses.

Nowadays, none of the attendants around me can be trusted, and I don't have the time and energy to win people's hearts, so I dare not show that I am worried, so I just sit quietly and let the hairdresser do the makeup.

Looking at the beauty in the bronze mirror with her buns stacked high and her cheeks painted with rouge in a "crescent moon" dress, I couldn't help being stunned, until the maid next to me urged in a low voice: "Madam, please change your clothes as soon as possible!" , I’m afraid I won’t be able to catch dinner if it’s late.”

"That's right," I smiled wryly, "For some reason these past two days, I've kept my mind blank, and I've been dazed for no reason."

When I arrived at my grandma's residence, I entered the room to say hello to my grandma, and then turned away from everyone and said to her, "Grandma, if you don't want to have dinner with them tonight, Alan can accompany you."

I just came to Jianye, because I just moved to the mansion, even if I only take care of one-third of an acre of land in my yard, it can be regarded as complicated affairs, and I don't have much time to spend with my grandma, mostly just saying hello every day.As for the servants who were hinted by some people, they made grandma a little upset overtly and secretly. Firstly, there was no proof, and secondly, the old man repeatedly stated that she didn't care, so I ignored it.

On the New Year's Eve banquet, I couldn't escape, and I had to make hypocritical courtesies with the Sun family.Presumably Xu Wan and the others are happy to see the lack of an eyesore like me at the table.

Grandma said that Alan had good intentions when eating with grandma alone, but your mother-in-law might think too much and say that you lost your sense of proportion.

When I was a teenager, I naively promised that "if you have one heart, you will never leave your head forever", and it doesn't matter if you are a class.It's a pity that with General Sun, I can't tell whether the relationship is close or not, but there is one thing: the virtue of being greedy for profit has made great progress.I am used to giving orders to others, and I am very partial to the style of responding first and second—the so-called "fame and wealth are important in the world, how many people can throw them away in ancient and modern times" and so on.

Sun Quan promised to use three years to remove obstacles and make his own decision to marry me.The three-year period, whether it is long or short, is calculated on the fingers, and there are still thirteen months. I know that my patience is almost exhausted.If I am still trampled on the soles of my feet like this, let alone thirteen months, I can't wait even three months.

I replied irritably: "Then I will bring Ah Li over to accompany you later."

Seeing the look of embarrassment on her face, I couldn't help pressing my forehead: "He was taken away by that person from the East Garden again? Hmph, what a good one to hold the emperor to order the princes."

"Alan, don't do this, she is your mother-in-law."

"Don't talk about it, grandma." I shook off my long sleeves. "When did she think I was her daughter-in-law? If you feel cramped, you don't have to go. I will explain clearly to General Sun."

"What do you want to explain to me?"

I suddenly looked back, Sun Quan was wearing a dark red robe, his whole body was almost integrated with the night, only the seven-color coat of arms on the cuff of the pipa sleeve (Note 2) was shining brightly in the gradually dimming light.

He held out his hand to me.His hands are slender, and there is a thin layer of calluses on the fingers that are used to hooking the bowstring. When he holds my fingers, there is a clear heat, as if he is trying to convey something.

"Mrs. Tai, if you are inconvenient, you can rest here in Minshan Garden. If you need anything called a servant, I will take it from Mrs. Guo Tai." Sun Quan bowed his head to his grandmother as a salute.

I clenched his hand back, with a little more gratitude in my eyes.

The two left each other and left Minshan Garden hand in hand.For some reason, I looked up at him, and he happened to be looking at me, looking at each other and giggling for a long time, I blamed: "Didn't you have dinner with the ministers at the government office at night, what did you come back for?"

He has a happy expression, like a cat with its feet full: "I'm too lazy to worry about it, I let it go to Mr. Zhang to host. I couldn't be with you on New Year's Day, let's make up for it today."

I jumped for joy secretly, and said calmly: "It's just a meal, it's not interesting. Unless..."

He frowned slightly: "What the hell are you thinking?"

I grinned and leaned into his ear, muttering: "Unless you take me out to play, Alan hasn't had the chance to see the night market in Jianye City."

He rubbed my hair with a smile: "You cunning little girl, all right, just go and tidy up, and leave after dinner."

Twilight enveloped the four walls, and the lanterns in the porch were lit up, casting a faint yellow light, cutting out the desolate courtyard under the shadow of the whirling trees.The ice wheel at the west end was a bit too round today, a gust of cold wind blew by, I stumbled for no reason, and I felt a little uncomfortable feeling in my heart, but seeing Sun Quan's cheerful appearance, I ignored the uneasiness again, I don't mention it since I went to change clothes.

At the end of the year and the beginning of the year, the two of us changed into the usual attire of noble sons, with a black cloak over our heads and a wide hood covering our faces. Each of us carried a few dog legs and slipped out with folding fans to have fun. .
