When Zhou Man woke up, it was already dark outside, and Bai Shan had no idea where she was. She stretched herself comfortably, hugged the quilt and felt the warmth in it. After a moment of hesitation, she decided to stay in bed.
But she had a good sleep last night. Although she wanted to stay in bed, she was in good spirits. She stared at the curtain with bright eyes. Bai Shan quietly opened the door, looked over the bed, and met her eyes.
Bai Shan:……
He came in immediately and asked, "Why don't you get up now that you're awake?"
Zhou Man: "It's a bit cold outside."
Bai Shancai was boxing. At this time, his body was still warm and a little sweaty, so he said directly: "It's not cold, not at all."
Zhou Man glanced at his outfit and pulled down the quilt slightly. After feeling the coldness, he immediately pulled the quilt up to cover his neck. He shrank his hands inside and said, "It's cold, you can't use your feelings."
Let’s define actual weather.”
Bai Shan: "...are you going to lie in bed all day?"
Zhou Man: "It's not that bad. I'll wait until the sun rises a little more and I feel warmer before I get up."
Bai Shan glanced outside, and the sun was already shining brightly outside. He thought of the notes Zhou Man wrote to him, which were listed above. If she was lazy and lay down for a long time, unwilling to move or eat, she must be forced to do so.
implement.
So he raised his head and smiled at her, then casually took the big duck on the shelf in his hand, lifted the quilt from her body, and in her exclamation, covered her with the big turtle and hugged her directly.
Get up and go outside.
Zhou Man's eyes widened, and he slapped him twice angrily, "What are you doing?" But he didn't dare to struggle.
Bai Shan's shoulder was so painful from being slapped that he hissed and said, "Hit him more gently."
He put her on the couch in the outer room, and then loudly called May and Jiulan to come in, "Didn't you tell me in the letter? You said that you have been getting lazier and lazy lately, staying in bed, and sometimes you are obviously hungry.
, but you actually find it troublesome to eat and don’t even want to eat, so you asked me to keep an eye on you and not allow you to be too lazy."
Zhou Man finally remembered this matter, but he said shamelessly: "But I just don't want to get up today."
Bai Shan sighed, "Yesterday you were very responsive to Princess Mingda's pregnancy, but your reaction is not small when I come here today. Has the child been tormenting you recently?"
Zhou Man stepped on his foot and crushed it angrily, "Stop changing the subject and hug me back."
She hadn't put on her shoes yet, so Bai Shan didn't hurt at all when she stepped on her. He was afraid that her feet would freeze, so he quickly picked her up and stuffed her into his arms.
Wuyue and Jiulan opened the door and came in, holding a wooden basin and mouthwash in their hands. They were not surprised by the two people's commotion. One put the wooden basin on the shelf and went to find the clothes Zhou Man wore today, and the other
He also put the tray on the shelf and said: "Madam, today the eldest lady made steamed buns stuffed with meat. The skin is thin and the fillings are big. I heard that there is soup in it. The princess sent someone over to get a basket, and also
There was one cage left, and the eldest lady asked if she would like to leave some for Mr. Yin."
Zhou Man's attention was diverted. After thinking for a while, he said: "Go and invite him over here to have breakfast. It's troublesome to send him back and forth, and it's easy to get cold."
Jiulan agreed, bowed and retreated to deliver the message.
Wu Yue took out the clothes, shoes and socks that she had folded last night, and was about to help Zhou Man get dressed, when Bai Shan waved his hand and said, "I'll do it, you can go down."
May smiled slightly, bowed her knees and stepped back.
Bai Shan knelt down and put on her socks and shoes first, and then took some clothes for her to wear.
Zhou Man slapped his hand away and said, "I'll do it myself."
Bai Shan smiled and stepped aside, but still reached out from time to time to help her put on her clothes.
Zhou Man tied up her hair with a hair tie, and Bai Shan immediately handed her a poplar branch dipped in medicinal powder for mouthwash.
Zhou Man took it and went into the bathroom to rinse his mouth. He straightened up and Bai Shan offered the twisted handkerchief. Zhou Man took it and felt much better.
She wiped her face clean and sat in front of the dressing table. While wiping her face, she watched Bai Shan combing her hair. "You are acting weird today."
Bai Shan was unconvinced, "Didn't I do your eyebrow makeup before?"
"But you are not so attentive," Zhou Man doubted him, "Could it be that you have something to ask me for?"
"No," Bai Shan said while combing her hair: "I haven't been with you during this period. I feel sorry for you and just want to be nice to you, okay?"
"Okay," Zhou Man raised his head, "then comb my hair."
Bai Shan's craftsmanship was really not very good, so Wu Wu finally came in to take over, fixed Zhou Man's hair and put on jewelry, and then the two of them went to the dining room.
Xiao Qian and Yin You were both in the dining room, and they were talking.
Xiao Qian had already eaten. The reason why he stayed here was to see how Zhou Man's appetite was and if there was anything he wanted to eat for lunch...
But when I saw Bai Shan and Yin You, I felt that they had lost weight, so I was more concerned about them, "Tell me what you want to eat, and I will make it for you at noon."
Bai Shan said that he is not picky about food at all, and Yin You said that he is fine with it.
Zhou Man had already looked away from Yin You's face. He put a bun between his hands and said, "I think they all look pretty good. They must be really good. Sister-in-law, just cook a little for them."
She paused and said, "It's better if it's lighter."
Speaking of this, Bai Shan turned to Zhou Man and said, "I found a hot spring in Beihai County. It's not big and it's wild land. I've asked people to encircle that area and use all the surrounding fertile areas to grow vegetables."
, we should be able to eat fresh vegetables this winter."
Bai Shan said to Yin You, "I'll let someone build a separate courtyard there. When it gets colder, would you like to go there and live there for a while?"
Yin You smiled and said: "Give it to the princess, I am in good health."
It's strange, his body is far worse than Mingda's.
Zhou Man took a bite of the steamed bun, which was thin in skin and large in filling. In just one bite, a small amount of juice inside flowed into her mouth, and she ate it together with the salty aroma of the meat. She didn't feel greasy at all.
Zhou Man narrowed his eyes and was very happy. He said to Yin: "If it's too cold, go ahead. Bai Er and Princess will also go. That courtyard was built by craftsmen sent by His Majesty. It is composed of small courtyards.
It's very private and convenient, so you don't disturb each other. It was originally built for you to recuperate."
Bai Shan nodded, "It's hard for you to stay here to accompany us and my wife. Since we told my family that we are here to recuperate, we must live up to the name."
In order to build this courtyard, Bai Shan not only spent money to buy a piece of mountainous land from Beihai County as wasteland, but also spent a lot of money to buy stone and wood for construction. It was the largest personal expenditure they spent after arriving in Beihai County.
.
Now that it is built, it is best to make the best use of it.
Yin You raised his eyebrows and asked, "Are you going then?"
