Rebirth of Jiuyouyan

When the New Year's Eve atmosphere began to fill the city of Yin, Xia Yue's Yunqi also expanded smoothly.

There are many shops in the market that have closed their doors, especially those whose hometowns are far away, and they all left Yincheng early to rush back to their hometowns.Xi Jiuzui was also planning to close the shop. During this period of time, many customers came to buy wine and go back. There were fewer people sitting in the restaurant drinking and eating food. Shopkeeper Cheng and Steward Fang finally had some leisure time.

It's just that compared with this time last year, Xijiuzui is much more prosperous. Shopkeeper Cheng still remembers the scene when Master Shao came back for the first time after waking up.It's only been a year, and I didn't expect such a big change.

Shopkeeper Cheng swept the counter casually with a feather duster. Steward Fang, who was keeping the accounts, frowned tightly. He was about to talk about him, but when he looked up, he saw the young lady lifted the curtain and walked in.

"Why is the young lady here?"

The two Lang officials were terrified, they hurried out from behind the counter and went up to meet him, for fear that he might bump into him somewhere.

Shiyan was supported by a small attendant, seeing the nervousness of the two people in front of him, he couldn't help laughing.

"Shopkeeper Cheng, Steward Fang, don't be so nervous, I'm not a porcelain doll."

"Oh, Young Madam, you are more expensive than porcelain dolls now. If something goes wrong with us, Young Master can dismantle me." Shopkeeper Cheng looked at Shiyan's swollen belly, swallowed, and called Xiaoer to the counter Watching, he carefully led Shiyan the way.

Steward Fang also put away the account book and followed. Seeing that Shiyan was walking steadily and looking good, she felt relieved.

When we arrived at the hut in the backyard, Steward Fang asked, "Why did Young Madam suddenly come here today? No one was notified."

Shiyan smiled embarrassedly: "It was a sudden idea, and I didn't have time to ask someone to come over first. Today, the tailor sent new clothes, and I was just about to go out, so I dropped by. It's just that the alley at the back door stopped. I don’t know who’s carriage, we can’t get in, so we can only come in through the front door.”

"Why do you ask Young Madam to go out by yourself when you give me some clothes? It's freezing cold." Shopkeeper Cheng quickly heated up the brazier.

After receiving the hot tea handed over by Steward Fang, Shi Yan thanked her with a smile, took a sip, and continued, "Today, the room is going to smoke grass. I didn't stay well, so I was kicked out. I was told to go hide But today, Xianggong’s wine is at the juncture of warming up, so I don’t want to disturb it. It happened that the tailor sent the clothes, so I came together.”

"Ah," Shopkeeper Cheng suddenly realized, "It's indeed time to smoke the grass."

As the New Year approaches, each family will burn a kind of sandalwood miscanthus in the house to drive away evil spirits.After Xijiuzui went out of business, he would also smoke it in restaurants.

This kind of miscanthus, called sandalwood, has a special aroma when it is burned, which is actually quite pleasant. Ordinary people will feel refreshed when they smell it, as if all the filth and evil in the body have been eliminated.It's just that only the pregnant lady can't smell the fragrance.Many pregnant women will have severe reactions such as nausea and vomiting when they smell the aroma of burning sandalwood, so people think that the smell of sandalwood is not good for pregnant women. They are all to be avoided.

Seeing that the brazier was burning hot enough, shopkeeper Cheng got up and said he was going out to see what happened to the carriage parked in the back alley.

After a while, shopkeeper Cheng came back, and Xia Yue's servant was with him, carrying a big package together.

Inside the package were new clothes for Xi Jiuzui's guys, and for Shopkeeper Cheng and Steward Fang, they were made separately, and the boys hugged them in their arms.

Shi Yan asked the two of them if they wanted to try them on to see if they fit them well, but both Shopkeeper Cheng and Steward Fang said no, as the clothes sent by the Yun family were never bad or inappropriate.

Shopkeeper Cheng met a young man carrying a big package when he came out of the back door. The carriage was parked in the middle of the alley. The alley was not too narrow, and the carriage was blocked there. You can still walk in Shi Shiran, even if you are holding a huge package.

"That carriage is so strange," the boy said incredulously, "there should be no one in the carriage, and the coachman is not there. It's just an empty carriage occupying space and blocking the road."

Shopkeeper Cheng answered: "There is no family pattern on the car, so I don't know which one it belongs to. It's not good to park anywhere, but I just park there. The traffic is just right."

"By the way, Young Madam," Shopkeeper Cheng changed the subject, and suddenly said to Shi Yan, "It's snowing outside, so don't rush to go back, wait until the sun clears."

Steward Fang also agreed upon hearing the words, Kan Shiyan nodded in agreement, and then took out the account book.Don't talk about the boss, if you can't find anyone else, you can go to Shi Yan to talk about the problems in the account book.

After spending some time in the warm hut, the account book was almost read, the little attendant saw Shi Yan put down the account book, and went up to rub the sides of his forehead cleverly.

The snow has stopped, and although it will be some time before the smell of sandalwood disappears completely, Shiyan is too embarrassed to continue to bother Xi Jiuzui. Shopkeeper Cheng and Steward Fang say they are free, but in fact they have no leisure at all.

As soon as I came here, I delayed other people's work, and they were all here to accompany me, which made Shiyan feel very sorry.

I can't go home at this time, so I might as well go to the wine store to have a look.Shi Yan thought so, and went out from the main entrance.Shopkeeper Cheng and Steward Fang sent him out, the carriage stopped by the canal, and they stood at the door waiting for the boy to drive the carriage over.

The little attendant stood supporting Shi Yan. Suddenly, Shi Yan heard a sound coming from the alley on the right. The next moment, he saw the carriage parked in the alley rushing out at an extremely fast speed. He turned left and ran to the driveway. .

Shi Yan quickly pulled the little attendant, and quickly stepped back, watching the carriage pass by the place where the two of them were standing just now.

"Ah..." Backing too quickly, Shiyan lost his footing and tilted his body. Fortunately, shopkeeper Youcheng quickly came up to support him, otherwise he might fall down.

Running all the way down the driveway, I couldn't even hear a sound in a blink of an eye.Although the few people were angry, they had no choice but to pay attention to Shiyan who cried out in pain.Before he had time to ask if he was alright, the shopkeeper Cheng Fang and the attendants saw their young wife's face turn pale.

"Young madam, what's wrong with you, young madam?" The attendant panicked and didn't bother to thank the young madam for saving him, for fear that the young madam would be shocked and there would be some serious problem.

Seeing the three people looking at her worriedly, Shi Yan forced a smile: "It's okay, it seems that my ankle is sprained..."

"It's just the feet? Is there any problem in the stomach?" Steward Fang frowned and asked.

Shi Yan shook her head, saying it was fine.At this moment, the servant drove the carriage over, and he also saw the scene just now, and his face was full of panic.

Now Shiyan definitely can't go to the wine cellar, but he can't just go back to Yun's house like this. Now it seems that the child in her belly is fine. If she goes back and gets smoked by the sandalwood, what should she do if something goes wrong.

Just seeing cold sweat protruding from his forehead, it must be in excruciating pain, and he must see a doctor immediately.

"Today, Dr. Shen is in the hospital, take me there."

Although Shiyan was in pain, she was sober, and she remembered that after giving herself the needle in the morning, Dr. Shen went out to the medical clinic, and at this moment calmly ordered the servants and attendants.

The boy hurriedly opened the door.

"Young Madam, I have offended you." Fang Guan apologized in advance, then lowered his body, picked up Shi Yan, and carried him into the carriage.

In the past, Lang Guan would not be able to casually touch the courtesans who have promised others. Fang Guanshi is a man of etiquette, not to mention that he has long seen Xia Yue's desire to monopolize his husband, so naturally he will not do anything that violates the law. A matter of etiquette.It's just that he can't take care of these things now, and Shiyan can't get into the carriage by himself, someone has to carry him up. Compared with the first phase, Fang Guanshi thinks it's better to come by himself. When Xia Yue knows it, he shouldn't be displeased Comfortable.

The young servant was anxious, but he didn't dare to be greedy, so he drove the carriage steadily to the door of Dr. Shen's clinic.

Dr. Shen asked the little attendant to take off Shiyan's boots and socks, and several people gathered around to take a look. The white and tender ankle was swollen up a lot, and it hurt to look at it.The little attendant even wrinkled his face, and Shi Yan even comforted him a few words.

There was ice in the clinic, Dr. Shen gave Shiyan an ice compress, and the little attendant felt very distressed, so he quickly lit the stove for him and stuffed it into Shiyan's arms, thinking that the young lady must not freeze .

"I have to apply ice once at night, and I will check the situation when I get up tomorrow morning."

After the ice compress was finished, Dr. Shen confessed that Shiyan and the little attendant nodded to show that they understood, and then massaged the hematoma for him, and continued: "It's not convenient for you to press it yourself, I will go there for a while tonight." Come on, teach it to Young Master Yun, let him rub it for you three or five times a day."

Prescribed medicine, applied Shiyan to the affected area, and after wrapping it with a bandage, Dr. Shen warned again: "Remember, you can't walk around at will these few days, and you can't put your weight on this foot. Put your foot on this side when you sleep. Keep your feet high, and don't turn your ankles at ordinary times."

Shi Yan nodded obediently and wrote down one by one.

In the evening, Xia Yue rushed home after receiving the letter, and what he saw was his husband sitting on the couch in front of the window with his left leg raised.

Seeing her husband coming back, Shiyan was very nervous.

The memory of being scolded and slapped by his husband on a stormy night came back to his mind. After that time, he knew that his husband didn't like seeing him not cherishing his body. If he hadn't found out that he was pregnant, his anger might not be so easy to dissipate.

As a result, today she was actually pregnant and injured, the more Shi Yan thought about it, the more guilty she felt, fearing that her husband would scold her, she lowered her head, like a child who did something wrong, not daring to look at Xia Yue.

Xia Yue didn't even take off his cloak, and rushed directly to Shiyan, and didn't notice that Fulang looked strange, but squatted down distressedly, and carefully looked at the ankle wrapped in herbs.

"Does it hurt?" Xia Yue gently grabbed Shiyan's left thumb, stroked it with his fingertips, and asked softly.

The husband didn't seem to be angry, Shi Yan breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, then raised her head, and just said "No pain", and bumped into her husband's eyes full of distress.

Seeing the eyes full of tenderness and pity, Shi Yan felt that the softness in her heart was about to melt into water, and her heart was suddenly filled with guilt, so she couldn't help but blurted out: "Sister, I'm sorry."

Xia Yue was stunned: "Why do you apologize?"
