Chapter 304 – Firework Scent
Jiang Yishi greeted the door.
She saw a small sedan chair coming this way surrounded by a group of people, with the tall Sister He walking at the front.
The palanquin stopped at the courtyard entrance, Sister Chai opened the curtains, and Sister He carried Li Zhenbao down.
Li Zhenbao’s face was pale and so thin that her cheeks were sunken in. Even without standing on the ground, it was obvious that she had grown a bit since the previous year, and her features had also grown a bit.
She looked at Jiang Yishi and smiled and curved her eyes, and there were tears in her eyes.
Jiang Yishi’s nose was also sore, and she laughed, “I haven’t seen you in half a year, but your sister has grown taller again. Quickly, please come in.”
Sister He carried her into the courtyard.
There was a chaise longue placed under the tree in the inner courtyard, which the Old Grand Duke had people carry here, saying that it was best to lie on it and bask in the sun.
Now the sun is just right, the wind is not too strong, a little sunlight leaks down between the branches and leaves, sitting on the chaise lounge is both warm and not too hot.
Li Zhenbao was put to lie on the chair, Jiang Yishi sat aside and took her hand.
Li Zhenbao looked sideways at Jiang Yishi’s slightly convex stomach and laughed, “The stomach is so small, my goddaughter is only this big.”
She stretched out one hand and clenched it into a fist.
Everyone else thought she was joking, but only Jiang Yishi believed she wasn’t lying.
Listening to Hua Hua, she said that there was something in Li Zhenbao’s world that could see the five organs and six bellies in the stomach, as well as the growth of the fetus in the stomach.
Jiang Yishi laughed, “It’s not even four months yet, how big can it grow.”
Seeing the courtyard full of flowers, smelling and hearing the fragrance and the sound of spatulas coming from the outer courtyard, the fragrance of eggs and leeks, as well as the clucking of chickens, and the talking of passersby outside the wall …… and then think of that tall figure, Li Zhenbao was so happy that tears overflowed her eyes.
She murmured, “the smell of fireworks is so good, others seem to be the most common thing, but I can hardly reach. I don’t know if I can make it until the day I come out. Sister, I don’t have the strength to fight anymore, I’m so tired, I want to kill myself.”
This half year’s suffering was even worse than previous years, torturing her to the point where she hated to die. She felt that she couldn’t survive in that life, and that her soul would be scattered in this life as well.
Jiang Yishi thought of her previous life when she met Li Zhenbao on the eclipse, it was the autumn of the 20th year of Jianrong, that is, around October of next year, when she was returned to secularism. Having the strength to pull her to the house and hide her meant that she was very healthy.
Jiang Yishi said, “Believe in me and you will definitely be cured. Even if you don’t believe in me, you should believe in Master Yu He, who will cure you. It is said that it is darkest before the dawn, and you are in the darkest time. Once the darkness passes, there is light.”
Hua Hua jumped into Li Zhenbao’s arms at once, sticking out its tongue and licking her chin, its eyes wrapped in tears. It knew that Li Zhenbao could recover, and it was just heartbroken for her.
Li Zhenbao was tickled by the licking, and lowered her head to kiss Flower again. Laughing, she said, “I’m willing to believe in my sister, and I’m also willing to believe in Foolishness and Grandmaster, I can’t let go of too much beauty in this world.”
Jiang Yishi interjected, “Yes, relatives, husband, children, food, silver ……”
Li Zhenbao threw her a wink, “Heh heh heh, elder sister has also started to colorfully seduce the little nun. Those good things I also want ah, can not …… even kiss a man.”
She didn’t dare to say “lived two lifetimes”, and the latter half of her voice was very small.
Thinking of that handsome face, she blushed slightly, a rare shyness.
When she was at her worst, she could always hear that encouraging voice. She should have turned fifteen this year, able to marry and have children in this era. I don t know if she can live to return to the world in this life, can she marry him as she wishes ……
Jiang Yishi knew which words she had omitted and reached out a finger to poke her in the head, laughing, “Not shy. However, you won’t kill yourself if you can say such words.”
The two of them joked for a while, and Jiang Yishi helped Li Zhenbao up and walked slowly in the courtyard. When she was tired, she helped her sit down again.
Jiang Yishi also went to the kitchen to fry two specialty dishes.
The dishes set up a full table.
Li Zhenbao now should not eat more, like to eat only ate two bites. And really too greedy, let people take half of the dishes to another table, let the best appetite Shui Ling to eat.
Hua Hua meowed, “It’s time to start eating podcasts again.”
Seeing her own Great Grandmother’s agreement, Shui Ling sat down at the table and feasted.
Smelling that smell and watching Shui Ling eat, Li Zhen Bao followed and swallowed, finally getting some sort of spiritual satisfaction.
Jiang Yishi also somewhat understood the meaning of “eating broadcast” in that life. Still, she reminded, “Shui Ling, if you really can’t finish it, don’t eat it.”
Seeing that Li Zhenbao was happy, Shui Ling insisted on eating all the food on the small table.
Li Zhenbao rewarded her with twenty taels of silver.
Shui Ling’s eyes smiled happily, being able to please the master’s good friend, and being able to eat good food and get reward money, there is really such a good thing in this world.
Li Zhenbao is also afraid that Shui Ling was propped up in a bad way, gestured and said, “This way, press the root of the tongue, you can catalyze vomiting.”
Shui Ling laughed, “No need, slave girl went out to split firewood for half an hour, to ensure that the things in the stomach all grams.”
Li Zhenbao imagined the action of chopping firewood, the whole body movement, it was easier to consume calories than working out in her previous life.
Li Zhenbao drank the soup and medicine, and at the beginning of the eleventh hour, she became sleepy and offered to sleep in the same bed with Jiang Yishi.
Jiang Yishi couldn’t bear to refuse and got into bed with her, even Hua Hua nestled into her arms.
Li Zhenbao hugged Hua Hua with one hand and pulled Jiang Yishi’s hand with the other, smiling and bending her eyes.
In her past life and in this life, the only person she had ever “shared a bed with” was Jiang Yishi. Of course, the time when she was a baby with no memory doesn’t count.
In both lives, she had a father who loved her, and in this life, she had an elder brother who loved her, and even if they were relatives, they were still men, and even if they liked her, they still had boundaries.
And the closest thing to a mother who was gone early in one life and died early in the next. And the husband who could be even closer, not in the previous life, not knowing if there would be one in this one ……
Pulling another person’s hand into her dreamland, she felt happy.
The next day, Li Zhenbao was sleeping soundly, Jiang Yishi quietly got up, she wanted to personally make eight treasures congee, leek cake, sheep’s milk steamed egg. She wanted to make more Eight Treasure Congee and bring a jar to the nunnery to eat.
Li Zhenbao was awakened by the fragrance.
She wiped a handful of drool running down the corners of her mouth and called out, “Sister, Su Wei, I’m going to get up.”
The two men came in and served her to dress and wash.
Sitting at the table, Li Zhenbao sniffled.
“Sister’s good craftsmanship, it smells even better than the Imperial Chef’s.”
Eight treasures congee can also be eaten in the nunnery, she did not eat, to use the most limited belly to fill the nunnery can not eat.
In the morning the weather was a little cool, did not dare to let Li Zhenbao go out, Jiang Yishi accompanied her on the couch leaning and joking, Hua Hua obediently leaned against her side.
Time flies, the sun is almost in the middle of the day again.
The morning meal was set on the table, Li Zhenbao ate a small amount.
Sister Chai urged, “Diet Little Master, it’s time to return to the nunnery.”
Jiang Yishi didn’t dare to keep her, “I’ll try to come back here early next month and pick you up for a day out. By the time it’s mid to late afternoon, you’ll be able to return to the capital”
