After Jixiang got married, Feng Shaojun felt lost, as if something was missing around him, and he felt a little empty in his heart.
Fortunately, I have my grandmother Xu and my cousin-in-law Song to accompany me every day, and there are also a bunch of naughty children running around in front of me all day long, so the New Year has arrived in a lively manner.
This is the first New Year in the border town. The military camp also has a holiday, from the first to the fifth day of the new year, a total of five days of holiday. A large number of military men flocked to the border town from the military camp, and the brothels and gambling houses were bustling, not to mention the Jiangjunfang. It was also extremely lively inside.
Speaking of Jiangjunfang, it’s another interesting story.
Originally this square was called Shengping Square, but later the wealthy businessmen and petty officials in this square moved away, leaving more than fifty empty houses. Shen You and a group of the emperor's personal guards moved in with their families. There were The good people called Shengpingfang Jiangjunfang.
Nowadays, when it comes to Jiangjunfang, everyone in the border town knows it.
Everyone was once the emperor's personal guard and came to the border together. Now they are all members of the imperial family and have a close relationship with each other. On the New Year's Day, everyone came to visit with their families to pay New Year greetings. The men were talking in the main hall, and the women and children gathered in the inner hall. inside.
Cui Yuanhan, the quartermaster, entered the military camp a few days ago. Everyone knew that he was Shen You's uncle, and they all got close to him.
Cui Yuanhan was a mellow person, well-thought-out in his words and deeds. He integrated into the new environment and life in just a few days. At this time, he was sitting with everyone, chatting and laughing.
On the female side, the Song family, who has a gentle and gentle temperament, quickly integrated into the small circle.
When women chatted together, they mostly revolved around their husbands and children. Wives were valued by their husbands, the men were headed by Shen You, and the female family members were naturally headed by Feng Shaojun. She was pregnant, so of course she became the focus of everyone's attention.
Feng Shaojun, who once dominated the palace, was able to handle this small battle with ease and it was no problem.
Mother Zheng came in with a smile and reported in a low voice: "Mrs. Qi, the kitchen has prepared a banquet. We just need to give the order from the madam and the banquet can begin."
Feng Shaojun smiled happily and said to the female family members: "Please come together to the banquet! Today I also invited a theater troupe, which includes both literary and martial arts. Let's go to eat first and fill our stomachs, and we will watch the theater together."
All the female relatives stood up with smiles.
If we were celebrating the New Year in the capital city, we would have to pay New Year greetings to our elders and walk around. In the border town, it would be easier and less troublesome. Everyone has agreed to have a lively day together in Shen's house today. After that, they can have their own leisure in the next few days.
The only elder present was Mrs. Xu. Mrs. Xu took the chair at the head of the chair without hesitation. Feng Shaojun and Mrs. Song sat next to Mrs. Xu. Mrs. Lei Xiaoxue and Mrs. Li also took this seat.
The weather in the border town is cold. In winter, beef and mutton are abundant, and fruits and vegetables are rare and expensive. At today's banquet, there are all kinds of vegetables, especially a vegetarian dish. The soup base is fresh soup made from mushrooms, which is tender and tender. Rinse the green cabbage leaves, refreshing and delicious.
Feng Shaojun didn't have much appetite at first, but this dish was particularly satisfying, and he ate a lot without realizing it. Moreover, the baby in his belly was very peaceful today, with no stomach churning and no morning sickness.
Feng Shaojun's mood immediately improved. After eating, he led everyone to the stage that had been set up. Everyone had their stomachs filled and did not feel cold. They watched a martial arts play with great interest and ordered a literary play.
After staying outside for less than an hour, we turned into the inner hall where the charcoal pot was lit, and the maids brought fresh fruit snacks and hot sweets.
The excitement lasted until evening, when everyone dispersed without feeling satisfied.
Everyone lives nearby, so there is no need for anyone to send someone off. After leaving the Shen residence, everyone said hello and walked back to their own homes in a short walk. Not to mention, it felt really good.
Shen You drank a lot at noon today. At this time, most of the alcohol was gone, and he still smelled of alcohol. He went to take a hot bath and changed into clean clothes before returning to the house.
"Where's Brother Xu?" Shen You came over with a smile and put his arms around Feng Shaojun.
Feng Shaojun laughed softly and replied: "Brother Xu ran around all day today. He was tired from playing, so he was taken to bed by his grandmother."
Shen You said sincerely: "When grandma comes, I feel much more at ease."
Feng Shaojun was pregnant and had severe morning sickness. With Mrs. Xu taking care of her, everything was just in order. Feng Shaojun didn't have to worry about anything and could just focus on raising the baby.
Feng Shaojun leaned his head on Shen You's chest and sighed softly: "Over the years, my grandmother has worked hard to raise me. After I got married, I failed to honor her, and even made her come from the capital to the border town to work for me all day long. Worrying and busy.”
Feng Shaojun didn't realize it, but after becoming pregnant with this child, she became particularly sentimental. On the day Xu came, Feng Shaojun burst into tears. When Ji Xiang got married, Feng Shaojun cried again.
Shen You smiled and coaxed: "When you give birth to the child, grandma will be able to feel at ease. From now on, let's honor grandma together."
Feng Shaojun then turned from worry to joy: "Well, I take good care of the baby, which makes grandma happy more than anything else."
Shen You reached out and touched Feng Shaojun's flat belly: "How do you feel today? Has your child made trouble for you?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Feng Shaojun felt his stomach churning and felt uncomfortable, and he covered his mouth with his hands.
Shen You was startled and quickly brought a spittoon, while gently stroking Feng Shaojun's back. He watched helplessly as Feng Shaojun vomited up all the food he had eaten for a day.
At this time, let alone appearance and posture, it was probably the most embarrassing time in Feng Shaojun's life.
After vomiting, Feng Shaojun's face turned pale.
Shen You took a warm towel, wiped the corners of her mouth, and then brought warm water, and served her to drink half a cup. Feng Shaojun slowly regained his composure, and said with a wry smile: "It's fine during the day, I I thought I wouldn’t have to suffer this fate today. I never thought that after holding on for most of the day, I still couldn’t escape it.”
When Brother Huaixu was a child, he really didn’t suffer this kind of sin!
Shen You felt distressed and guilty when he heard that. He picked up Feng Shaojun, gently placed her on the bed, and covered her with a quilt: "Stop moving around, lie down on the couch and have a good rest."
Feng Shaojun is indeed a little tired. Today has been busy for most of the day, and she has been chatting with everyone. Now she has vomited and has no strength at all.
Her head rested on the soft pillow and she fell asleep quickly.
I don’t know how long it took, but suddenly there was movement in my ears.
The door was gently pushed open, and someone came in and whispered a few words into Shen You's ear. Feng Shaojun was confused and vaguely heard the words "Jingcheng" and "Qiu Family".
Suddenly I woke up.
Feng Shaojun opened his eyes and looked at Shen You: "What happened?"
The person who brought the message had already retreated. Shen You had a letter in his hand. He did not open it, with a complicated look on his face. After a long while, he whispered: "Young Master, someone from the Qiu family has sent a letter of mourning."
