Time flies so fast, spring passes and autumn comes, and winter comes again.
In the blink of an eye, the New Year is here, and the New Year will be celebrated in a few days.
Yueliang City stopped construction for a period of time, and then continued to rebuild. Previously, Ye Annian scraped together money and bothered Wen Heng to find a group of craftsmen, but the progress was very slow.
Later, when Wei Bingzhe came to the throne, he paid great attention to this matter and specially assigned many craftsmen to help with the construction, and the progress suddenly accelerated a lot.
There was also the old case of the massacre of Yue Liang City. After he ascended the throne, he immediately re-examined this major unjust case as soon as he put down the civil strife in the court.
The confession with Ali's handprint was presented, and Wei Bingzhe sent people to Yueliang City again and recovered many old items, many of which could become ironclad evidence of old cases.
He immediately wrote an edict to clear Jiang Zhu's grievances.
At the end of the edict, he apologized on behalf of Wei Zhihuai.
This edict was of considerable weight, and caused a sensation throughout the country.
On the one hand, he lamented that the new emperor had a kind heart and hated evil as much as he hated evil; on the other hand, he scolded the dead Wei Zhihuai for his evil deeds and that his death was not a pity.
And Jiang Zhu, a person who had been wronged for many years, was also pushed up by people in another strange way.
Since his charges were cleared, the medical clinic and pharmacy under Bai Hezhai's name became popular for a while.
At the same time, people began to spread the various miraculous deeds of Doctor Jiang when he was working as a wandering doctor incognito, and Jiang Zhu's reputation suddenly spread throughout the Dongling Kingdom.
Fortunately, now that Ye Annian's month is older, he stays on Baiyun Mountain every day and rarely goes down the mountain, so this has little impact on him.
If I have to say it, my monthly income has doubled several times.
Coupled with the fact that Ye Annian has opened Zhuyeji toy shops all over the Dongling Kingdom, Baihezhai's monthly income is now too much to count.
It was just a pity for Ziyu that she couldn't handle it all by herself, so she asked two gentlemen in the house to help.
Jiang Zhu was generous and gave the three of them double the amount of moon silver.
The severe cold has passed now, and the weather is getting colder day by day.
In the small attic of the first house, seven or eight charcoal basins were burned up and down. The room was so warm that even wearing single clothes did not feel cold.
Ye Anyian is now almost ten months old, and his belly is obviously swollen.
However, in the later period, Jiang Zhu strictly controlled his weight, and he himself was also thin and did not show his pregnancy very much, so compared to the average belly of a ten-month pregnant woman, it was still much smaller.
When the sun shone lazily through the window in the morning, Ye Annian rubbed his eyes and woke up in a daze.
Now he has a big belly and can only lie on his side.
When he raised his eyes, he saw Jiang Zhu sitting by the bed. Seeing that he was awake, he raised his lips and asked, "Did you sleep well?"
"Um..."
Ye Annian responded vaguely and was about to get up, but was stopped by Jiang Zhu: "Wait, don't worry, just lie down for a while."
Ye Anyian was not completely awake to begin with, so he closed his eyes and lay down automatically after hearing this.
It felt like Jiang Zhu was holding his hand and feeling his pulse.
After making sure that his fetal image was stable, he took out the essential oil he had prepared and began to untie his clothes.
Ye Anyian would blush at first, but later on, he got used to it.
Just sleep on him with your eyes closed, letting Jiang Zhu untie his obscene clothes and gently smear it on his belly.
The essential oils are made from various herbs. Jiang Zhu said it was to prevent the appearance of wrinkles. He didn't understand this, but when he looked at his belly every day, he saw that it was indeed fat and white, with no streaks at all. He felt that this essential oil was pretty good.
Suddenly there was a gentle touch on my stomach, and the area where the essential oil had been applied quickly warmed up and felt quite comfortable.
After applying the essential oil, Jiang Zhu tied the buttons one by one for him, then leaned over and kissed Ye Anyian on the forehead.
"Nian Nian's belly is white and round, which makes her even cuter."
Ye Anyian:...
Now I can't sleep at all.
He struggled to get up, and was slowly helped by Jiang Zhu to sit up.
"Did you do this on purpose?" Ye Anyian glared at him.
Jiang Zhu smiled like a fox: "No way, I'm telling the truth."
"Just keep sleeping, I won't bother you anymore."
"I won't sleep anymore, I'm hungry."
"Then get up and eat. I made soup-filled steamed buns and tofu puddings this morning. Don't you want something spicy? I mixed some chili oil to dip the steamed buns in."
"good."
Ye Anian stretched out, and Jiang Zhu hugged him.
Holding his waist and abdomen with one hand and his legs with the other, he carried him directly to sit on the imperial concubine's couch outside.
The imperial concubine's couch was added later, with thick soft cushions on top and a woolen blanket under the feet.
Ye Anian was placed on it, and soon Jiang Zhu brought hot water for him to wash up. After washing, Caidi put on his shoes and went downstairs to eat with Jiang Zhu.
In fact, they had always eaten directly upstairs, but Ye Anyian was very sensitive to smells during pregnancy. If they were upstairs, the smell of the rice would linger for a long time, which would make it very uncomfortable.
After dinner, it's time for a walk.
But now that the weather is cold, the two of them just walk around in the back garden.
Ye Anyian was covered in thick fox fur, and the white fox fur was wrapped around his shoulders. It was warm and made the blush on his cheeks look much gentler and more elegant.
Jiang Zhu held his hand, and the two of them walked slowly on the curved bridge.
It snowed a few days ago, and everything in the backyard was white. However, the snow on the curved bridge has been cleared away, so it will not slip.
The small pool is also frozen, but through the ice, you can still vaguely see the fish swimming underwater.
The two of them walked around the curved bridge, walked around the pool, and then went back.
The sun was very sunny today and there was no wind. Ye Anian held the bamboo in the river and wanted to sit in the courtyard for a while.
"Just for a while," Jiang Zhu said, "If it takes too long, you'll catch a cold."
"Yeah." Ye Anyian nodded obediently.
Jiang Zhu took out soft cushions and quilts and spread them layer by layer on the swing.
Then he pulled Ye Anyian to sit down and rocked slowly.
The weather was fine, calm and windless.
Jiang Zhu put his arms on the back of the swing chair behind him, and Ye Anian leaned over naturally.
The sun was shining warmly and comfortably on his body. He closed his eyes and suddenly felt that such a day couldn't be better.
Recalling his despair when his stepmother pushed him downstairs, and the six months he spent at Lao Ye's house after he came back.
He really never dreamed that he would have a day like today.
"I have something I want to tell you." He said suddenly.
Jiang Zhu leaned over and asked, "What's the matter?"
"It's just..." Ye Anyian was thinking about how to speak, "I'm actually not Ye Anyian. No..."
"Actually, I'm not the Ye Anyian from the old Ye family. It's just, well... it's like I changed my soul and took over my body, do you understand?"
"Although I don't know what happened, I am actually a person from later generations, and I don't know why I came here suddenly. However, I do have the same name as him."
"Maybe he was your previous life. It's very mysterious how fate comes together." Jiang Zhu raised his eyebrows.
Ye Annian was slightly startled, looking at Jiang Zhu with some confusion: "Aren't you surprised?"
"I noticed it early on." Jiang Zhu said, "You are different from him."
Seeing Ye Anian looking at him blankly and not speaking, Jiang Zhu pinched his cheek: "I have only seen him in the village before, but I have never spoken or interacted with him."
"The first time I talked to you was when you were washing clothes by the river that winter. Every year, you are you. You are the one I want to marry, you are the one I like, and you are the one I love."
Ye Annian blinked and then came back to his senses. He was not jealous, just surprised. Jiang Zhu accepted it too quickly and even noticed it long ago.
"No, you... aren't you shocked?"
"What's so shocking about this?" Jiang Zhu smiled with crooked eyebrows, "The old man's master lived for hundreds of years. I heard that he also saw people who became immortals. You are the one who passed through the soul and took away the body. What's strange about it. "
Ye Anyian:...
"Okay, don't think too much." Jiang Zhu hugged him and kissed him, "Wait for the birth with peace of mind, and then live your life with me."
Ye Anyian "hummed" and wanted to criticize him a few more words, but suddenly felt a stomachache.
"Well..."
He frowned, hugged his stomach and bent down.
"What's wrong?" Jiang Zhu suddenly became nervous.
"My stomach... hurts..." Ye Anyian bit his lip.
"She should be giving birth."
Hearing what he said, Jiang Zhu breathed a sigh of relief, hugged Ye Anian horizontally, and went into the house and went upstairs.
"It's okay, don't be afraid, I'm here."
Ye Annian kept inhaling in pain, but when Jiang Zhu said this, his nervousness eased a lot.
After entering the bedroom, Jiang Zhu gently put him down, walked outside and whistled, and Zi Mo flashed out in an instant.
"Zhai Master?"
Baihe Zhai has been very quiet recently, and the owner hasn't called him for a long time.
"You young master is about to give birth. Go and get some hot water." Jiang Zhu said.
"Oh..." Zimo responded casually, and then he reacted and his eyes widened immediately.
"Young Master, Young Master is about to give birth?!"
"Okay, okay!" The young man agreed and ran away happily.
Jiang Zhu had no choice but to take his medicine box and go into the inner room.
Ye Anyian's face was pale with pain at this time, and the sweat on his forehead was dripping down in large drops. He was holding on to the brocade quilt with both hands, and his joints were so tight that they turned white.
But he bit his lip and refused to say a word.
Jiang Zhu frowned in distress, helped him unbutton his pants, and took a look at the current situation, but it was still very early.
He comforted Ye Anyian and said, "Relax a little, Nian Nian, don't be so nervous."
But Ye Anyian obviously couldn't listen to his words and had already bitten his lips.
He folded a handkerchief and let Ye Anyian bite it in his mouth, then held his hand and wiped his sweat.
"Don't breathe like this, look at me like this."
Ye Annian turned his head and looked at Jiang Zhu. His eyes were red, but the pregnancy mole in the corner of his eye was fading.
Jiang Zhu taught him patiently, and Ye Anian endured the pain and did as he taught.
"Yes, that's it." Jiang Zhu said warmly, "Strengthen when the pain comes."
Ye Anian did as he said, but the pain was so painful that he began to tremble, but he still felt that it was useless.
After working hard like this for a long time, hot water was delivered, and Jiang Zhu also helped him scrub and change several basins of water.
He was almost numb from the pain, and the strength in his body was slowly being drained away.
But with the cloth in his mouth, he was speechless and could only look at Jiang Zhu pitifully.
Jiang Zhu took another look at the current progress and found that the fetal head could already be seen.
"It will be out soon, every year, keep working hard."
Ye Anian shook his head with red eyes. He had no strength left, and the waves of pain made him feel like he was about to die.
Jiang Zhu took off the handkerchief from his mouth: "Are you okay?"
"It hurts...I have no strength..." Ye Anyian felt that his lips were trembling, and tears were flowing down uncontrollably.
Jiang Zhu took out a vial from his medicine box, poured out a pill and stuffed it into Ye Anyian's mouth: "Don't cry, this is for pain relief. You will feel better if you take it."
When the pill was put into his mouth, he only felt a sweet taste and swallowed it wholeheartedly. Then, a thin ginseng slice was stuffed into his mouth.
"Feeling better?"
Ye Anyian nodded.
I don't know if the pills and ginseng tablets had an effect, but he felt that the pain was really not that unbearable anymore.
Jiang Zhu took his hand and squeezed it: "If you push harder, Nian Nian, it will come out soon."
Ye Annian groaned, and when the pain came, he exerted force and felt that the baby in his belly was being pulled, and it suddenly relaxed.
He felt very tired, and in his ears, Jiang Zhu's voice was vague: "I'm pregnant, it's a brother..."
The child was wrapped and carried out. He felt that Jiang Zhu was "busy" under him for a long time, and then came over to wipe his sweat with a warm handkerchief.
Then she carefully helped him sit up, removed the blood-stained bedding, replaced it with clean ones, and then helped him put on clean dirty clothes.
"Are you tired? Do you want to take a nap?"
Ye Anyian nodded. He was tired and in pain now, so he just let Jiang Zhu manipulate him.
In a daze, I remembered that painkiller pill.
"That medicine...do you still have it?"
Jiang Zhu was stunned for a moment and kissed the corner of his mouth: "That's not a painkiller, just a sugar pill."
Ye Anyian:...
Jiang Zhu laughed: "Nian Nian is great. It only took less than an hour to give birth."
"Go to sleep first and have a good rest. I asked the nanny to carry the baby next door. I'll watch it when you wake up."
"Okay." Ye An young said.
He is indeed too tired now and just wants to sleep first.
Jiang Zhu covered him with the quilt and wanted to get up and go out, but someone grabbed his sleeve.
He smiled helplessly, sat down by the bed, held Ye Anian's hand, and put it under the quilt together.
…
When I woke up again, it was already evening.
Ye Annian felt that the fatigue on his body had faded a lot. He raised his hand to touch his stomach, which had become flat.
but...
His hand paused on the dirty clothes, then reached under the hem and touched it.
There seemed to be something wrapped around his waist.Jiang Zhu took off the handkerchief from his mouth: "Are you okay?"
"It hurts...I have no strength..." Ye Anyian felt that his lips were trembling, and tears were flowing down uncontrollably.
Jiang Zhu took out a vial from his medicine box, poured out a pill and stuffed it into Ye Anyian's mouth: "Don't cry, this is for pain relief. You will feel better if you take it."

Ye Annian felt that the fatigue on his body had faded a lot. He raised his hand to touch his stomach, which had become flat.
but...
His hand paused on the dirty clothes, then reached under the hem and touched it.
There seemed to be something wrapped around his waist.
While he was feeling around, Jiang Zhu's voice rang out: "Are you awake?"
Ye Annian said "hmm", feeling his voice was a little dry and hoarse.
He asked: "What happened to my waist...?"
"It's the abdominal belt to help your body recover." Jiang Zhu said, "Why, is it too tight?"
Ye Anyian shook his head: "I want to drink water."
"Okay, I'll get it."
Jiang Zhu gave him some warm brown sugar water and asked, "Are you hungry? I cooked fresh meat porridge and eggs in sugar water. Do you want to eat some first?"
Ye Anyian finished drinking the brown sugar water and nodded.
Then he said: "I want to see the baby."
"Then I'll go and hug you."
Jiang Zhu left as he spoke, and after a while, he came in holding a pink baby.
"Look, my eyes look like yours." Jiang Zhu stuffed the small pink and glutinous dumplings into Ye Anyian's arms.
Xiaotuanzi was awake at this time, with bright black eyes. He didn't cry when he saw the two of them, and just looked at them.
"Do you like it?" Jiang Zhu asked.
Ye Anyian nodded: "You look so good."
"Of course you were born well. I heard from the wet nurse that the baby is easy to take care of. He doesn't cry much and will nurse when he's hungry. He's very lovable."
Ye Anyian smiled and said softly: "That's great."
Jiang Zhu took the opportunity to kiss him on the lips, gently, and they left at the first touch.
Ye Annian looked at him blankly.
But Jiang Zhu straightened the scattered hair on his chest and said seriously: "Nian Nian, thank you for your hard work."
