Chapter 58 Embroidery Workshop
When Lin Yuxi heard that Lu was pregnant, she came over happily and said, "Mom, are you really pregnant? Doesn't that mean I will have a brother or sister?"
Mrs. Lu smiled and nodded: "Yes, Xier, you are going to have a brother or sister."
As they were talking, Lin Yucheng heard that the main courtyard had called for a doctor, and he immediately rushed over. As he walked in, he asked anxiously, "Dad and Mom, who of you is feeling unwell? What's wrong?"
Lin Yucheng walked into the room and saw everyone surrounding Mrs. Lu. He was anxious and hurried forward, "Mom, are you feeling unwell? Doctor, what happened to my mom? Is it serious?"
Lin Yucheng looked at the doctor nervously, not noticing the expressions of the other people in the room. Lin Wenzhang coughed lightly and patted Lin Yucheng on the shoulder, "Your mother is fine, but you are going to be a brother."
elder brother?
Lin Yucheng was stunned for a moment, then revealed an ecstatic expression, "Really? Mom, I'm going to be a brother?" He turned to Lu, "Mom, you're awesome!"
Mrs. Lu looked at the excited father and son, her heart filled with happiness. She gently stroked her belly, her eyes revealing her expectations for the future.
At this time, Lin Yuxi pulled Lin Yucheng's sleeve and whispered, "Brother, don't make a fuss, be careful not to scare mother!"
Lin Yucheng hurriedly slowed down his voice and nodded happily in agreement, "Oh oh oh, okay!"
He needs a brother! Dear, hehe!
The whole family was immersed in joy. Lin Wenxuan personally saw the doctor out and came back after a long time, but there was a hint of solemnity between his brows. From then on, he took better care of Lu.
Lin Yuxi saw it all and naturally understood his father's worries. It was already difficult for women in ancient times to survive, and they also had to face the challenge of giving birth again and again.
She was also a little worried about Lu's condition, so she began to take care of Lu's body herself.
In Lin Yuxi's previous life, the emperor conferred her the title of princess. She had come across at least eighty prescriptions for conditioning the body, and she also learned medical skills and medicated diet in her previous life.
But Lin Yuxi doesn't know how to do these things in this life. She can only pretend to buy books such as "Medicinal Diet Collection" and "Gynecological Encyclopedia" and pretend to study them.
She first expressed her joy at finding a treasure, then she shut herself in and studied it carefully for several days without sleep or food, and even politely asked several famous doctors here for advice on how to better take care of pregnant women.
After completing all the preparations, I started to buy various fresh herbs in the medicine garden, such as angelica, astragalus, wolfberry, etc., which are good medicinal materials for regulating the body.
Lin Yuxi carefully washed the herbs she bought, and then began to prepare the medicinal food according to the recipes in the book "Medicinal Food Collection".
She carefully selected ingredients such as glutinous rice, red dates, and longan, and stewed them with herbs to make a fragrant medicinal porridge. In order to achieve the medicinal effect faster, she took out some of the peony petals that were treasured in the space and gradually added them in.
Every morning and evening, she would personally serve it to Lu to ensure that he could get enough nutrition and medicinal effects.
In addition to medicinal porridge, Lin Yuxi also studied the preparation methods of other medicinal foods, such as medicinal stewed chicken and medicinal steamed fish, which are both delicious and nutritious. She would change the way she made medicinal food for Lu every day, so that Lu could feel her daughter's love and care while tasting the food.
She was in a very good mood, so she no longer had problems like uncontrollable temper or sentimentality.
Under Lin Yuxi's meticulous care, Mrs. Lu was cheerful every day, her complexion gradually became rosy, her spirits were getting better day by day, and her whole body seemed to have gained a second life.
Her originally plump figure gradually showed a healthy charm under Lin Yuxi's medicinal diet. Her skin became smoother and more delicate, as if it had been gently caressed by time, leaving only tenderness and radiance.
Lu's temperament also became more gentle and loving, as if her whole body was enveloped in the light of happiness.
Seeing all this, Lin Wenjian felt extremely grateful and relieved. Their daughter was really getting better and better.
But the lady is indeed becoming more and more charming. I was stunned by her many times without realizing it. Fortunately, no one noticed, otherwise, it would be so embarrassing!
As the Lu family's situation stabilized, Lin Yucheng and Jiang Yu's marriage was quickly put on the agenda.
According to ancient customs, the first step for two people to get engaged is to exchange the Engagement Letter, which records the birth dates of the two people in detail, and then ask a fortune teller to calculate whether the two people are compatible.
After some calculations, the fortune teller smiled and congratulated them, saying that the two people's horoscopes were a perfect match and a perfect choice, which made both families extremely satisfied.
Although the stepfather of the Jiang family and the kid he brought with him tried to make trouble several times, fortunately this time Jiang Ze was decisive and straightforward enough to easily pin the man down. In order to solve the problem in the future, regardless of his mother's crying, he found an opportunity to sell the man to a human trafficker, and finally ended up suffering in a coal mine.
The next step was the engagement and the exchange of tokens. Lin Yucheng gave the jade pendant he had worn since childhood to Jiang Yu, and Jiang Yu also gave Lin Yucheng a jade ring left by his father. From then on, the two families were officially engaged. Considering Lu's health, the two families directly set the wedding date for one year later.
Lin Yuxi had been very busy during this period. Seeing that the affairs at home had finally come to an end and Mrs. Lu was in good health, she quickly handed the housekeeping over to Mrs. Lu and took Xiaotao out.
"Miss, where are we going?" the little maid asked happily, obviously very happy to be able to go out for a walk.
Lin Yuxi smiled slightly, and she had something in mind. She gently held the little maid's hand and said, "Let's go to the embroidery workshop that mother gave me! It's been so long, and you haven't been there yet?"
The little maid's eyes sparkled with excitement as she followed Lin Yuxi closely. The two of them walked through the bustling streets and soon arrived at the embroidery workshop.
Although the embroidery shop's facade is exquisite, it seems a little deserted inside. Lin Yuxi frowned slightly, walked into the shop, and looked around. She found that although the embroidery displayed on the shelves was exquisitely crafted, the styles were old and outdated, lacking novelty. No wonder the business was deserted.
"Miss, why are you here?" When Wei Changgui saw the young lady from the Dong family coming, he hurried over to greet her.
"Manager Wei, how is the embroidery shop's business these days?" Lin Yuxi asked. She observed the shop's furnishings while asking Wei Changgui.
Wei Changgui scratched his head and smiled awkwardly, "Girl, to be honest with you, business has been a little slow recently. Although the craftsmanship of these embroidery products is good, the styles are a bit too old, and customers are not very willing to buy them."
Lin Yuxi followed the shopkeeper into the inner hall and sat down. After chatting for a few words, she asked casually, "Oh, then the shopkeeper, have you ever thought of any way to change it?"
