Chapter 356 A tacit understanding
Yao Jia leaned into Ming Jue's arms and recounted her experience with Gu Xiyan in the Spirit Gathering Platform that day.
"In fact, I asked Dad to move Mom's grave because I saw what Ancestor Yunrong left me. It turns out that the ancestor had already predicted the fate of the descendants of the Nangong family. The cracks on the Panlong Pillar are telling me that the Nangong family should retire."
Mingjue's expression became solemn. He gently stroked Yaojia's back, giving her silent comfort and support.
"What about Lan Zhengjun? Will he agree to leave here?"
Yao Jia lowered her eyes, a complex expression flashed in her eyes, "Xiu Lan should have found clues in those books a long time ago, otherwise he wouldn't have left me clues and asked me to go and see those things in person."
Ming Jue was silent for a moment, then slowly said: "Yaoyao, I naturally support your decision. Although Kyoto is prosperous, it is also complicated. Leaving here can indeed avoid many unnecessary troubles. But, have you asked the opinions of other monarchs? Especially Liu Zhengjun, Baiji Trading Company has just established a foothold in Kyoto. If we leave..."
Yao Jia smiled, "Baiji Commercial Bank is naturally not a problem. You know Shuanghua's business acumen. He has long wanted to open Baiji Commercial Bank all over the country, or even further. I have thought about it. When the time comes, we will travel around the world. Maybe it will be a new opportunity for Baiji. We can take this opportunity to expand Baiji Commercial Bank to more countries and become a real business giant.
I have already discussed this with him. Instead of objecting, he was very excited. He said that we should build a huge Baiji cruise ship and go to Liang State along the Sancha Sea. You can also exchange medical skills with the doctors there. "
Mingjue's eyes suddenly lit up, and she really admired Yaojia's idea.
You must know that there are always people better than you, and the medical skills of different regions often contain unique wisdom and experience.
With anticipation surging in her heart, she had always longed to travel around the world, learn and integrate the essence of medical skills from all over the world to benefit more people. Yaoyao's proposal undoubtedly opened a door to a vast world for her.
The two of them chatted about their future lives and discussed various ideas for after leaving Kyoto.
The next day, when Yaojia woke up, Mingjue had already gone to the clinic, and Huaichuan helped her get up and have breakfast.
Just as I was about to pick up my chopsticks, I saw him take out a bowl of black medicine from the lunch box.
"Before Senior Brother Ming left, he specifically told you to drink it before meals to prevent any severe reactions during pregnancy."
Yao Jia hates taking medicine the most. She frowned and raised her hand to brush the medicine away. "Go away, don't affect my appetite. I feel uncomfortable when I smell the medicine."
Huaichuan hurriedly took a few steps forward and quickly steadied the medicine bowl, avoiding a small "disaster".
He advised earnestly: "My dear master, this is a kind gift from Senior Brother Ming. He said that this medicine is good for both the fetus and your body, and can relieve the discomfort during pregnancy."
Yao Jia didn't take it seriously. "I'm in good health. How can I feel uncomfortable? I was entertaining people for such a long time yesterday and my waist and legs didn't hurt. It's not like... Ugh..."
Before she could finish her words, she was caught off guard by the sudden feeling of nausea in her stomach. She quickly covered her mouth and her face turned pale in an instant.
Huaichuan immediately put down the medicine bowl, nervously supported Yaojia, patted her back, and asked with concern: "Are you feeling very uncomfortable? I will go and ask Senior Brother Ming to come back and check on you."
Yao Jia took a deep breath and shook her head to indicate that she was fine.
I didn't expect the pregnancy reaction to come so suddenly, and I couldn't help but regret my previous willfulness.
She looked up at Huaichuan, with a bit of apology and helplessness in her eyes: "It seems that I really have to drink this medicine."
Huaichuan breathed a sigh of relief and handed the medicine bowl back to Yaojia.
Yao Jia simply closed her eyes and drank the medicine in one gulp.
The bitter taste instantly spread in the mouth, and the strong feeling of nausea came again.
"Take a deep breath, inhale, exhale, inhale, exhale..." Huaichuan reminded Yaojia according to the relief method Mingjue told him when he left.
Yao Jia followed his rhythm and took several deep breaths before she recovered.
Looking at the food on the small table, I lost my appetite.
"I've taken all of these off. I've taken all the medicine. I really can't eat anything. It's a bit uncomfortable to watch."
Huaichuan quickly ordered the servants to take away the breakfast, and brought a bowl of water for Yaojia to rinse her mouth to relieve the bitterness in her mouth.
"How about I go buy some candied fruit? I heard from the maids in the mansion that many pregnant women in the countryside like to eat that."
Yao Jia nodded and forced a smile. Just as she agreed, the spring breeze rustled. She looked out the window and the sunlight shone through the gaps in the leaves onto the ground, making it look mottled.
Suddenly thinking of the peach forest in the secret realm, I blurted out, "I really want to eat peaches..."
"peach?"
Yao Jia hummed, "Those pink peaches are juicy, sweet but not greasy, and make me salivate just thinking about them."
Huaichuan immediately understood Yaojia's thoughts and said with a smile, "Master, wait a moment. I will ask someone to find out which fruit shop in Kyoto has the freshest and sweetest peaches. However, in this season, they probably don't have the peaches you mentioned. By the way, there seems to be a greenhouse in the suburbs of Beijing, maybe they can find some there."
As he was about to leave, Yao Jia stopped him and said, "It will take more than two months for the peaches to ripen. I'm afraid it would be useless to go. Send someone to the preserved fruit shop to buy me some canned yellow peaches. I'll eat that, too."
Huaichuan agreed and asked Yaojia what else she wanted to eat.
Yao Jia thought for a while and said, "Do you still have the fish with fermented wine that Marquis Qi sent? Bring some."
After hearing this, Huaichuan turned around and told his servants to get ready.
After a while, the servants brought canned yellow peaches and fermented fish, and also prepared a dish of sweet mung bean cake as a side dish.
Yao Jia looked at the delicious food on the table and felt a little better. Although her stomach still felt a little uncomfortable, she finally had some appetite.
But before he took a few bites, he started sniffing suddenly.
Huaichuan looked at her in confusion, "What's wrong? Are you feeling the spiciness?"
As he said that, he quickly scooped up a large piece of yellow peach with a spoon and put it in front of Yao Jia, trying to relieve her discomfort.
Yao Jia shook her head slightly, pointed outside the door and said, "I seem to smell a sweet fragrance, very light, but very fresh, like... peaches?"
Huaichuan was slightly stunned, then smiled and said: "Didn't the master just say that there were no peaches in this season? But I didn't get to eat them, so I had hallucinations..."
Before Huaichuan finished speaking, Yaojia stood up and said, "No, no, it's not an illusion. I really smelled it."
Following the faint fragrance, I walked out of the house.
Walking through the corridor and around the rockery, the fragrance becomes more distinct.
"Sir, please come this way. Yaoyao's yard is just ahead."
The sound of Baihuahua came from the other side of the rockery.
gentlemen?
After walking two more steps and looking in the direction of the sound, I saw Bai Huahua leading Nanshan, whom I hadn't seen for a long time, towards this side.
Since the Julingtai, Yao Jia has not seen Nanshan again. He thought that he would follow everyone to Qianchuan Mountain, but the emperor said that Nanshan had asked for more than a month's leave.
"Sir, what brings you here?"
Yao Jia ran forward and saw Nanshan holding a fruit basket woven with emerald green bamboo in one hand, and the basket was full of pink peaches.
Each peach is round and plump, with a layer of fine fuzz on the skin, giving off an attractive luster in the sun.
A warm feeling surged in Yao Jia's heart. She looked up at Nanshan with gratitude, but met his eyes that were slightly reproachful under his mask.
"gentlemen?"
Nanshan sighed, stepped forward and held her hand, his words full of concern, "You're already pregnant, why are you still so careless about yourself? If you rush out in a hurry, what if you fall down?"
He turned around and looked at Bai Huahua unhappily, "How do you act as a husband? It's not easy for Yaoyao to be pregnant, how can you let her walk around alone?"
Bai Huahua looked embarrassed and remorseful, and quickly apologized, "It was my negligence, it was my negligence, sir, don't worry, I will be more careful next time."
She cursed Huaichuan a hundred times in her heart, wondering how he looked at Yaoyao and made him lose face in front of outsiders.
Facing Nanshan's concern, Yaojia felt warm and helpless. She gently patted the back of Nanshan's hand and said with a smile, "Sir, you blamed Huahua wrongly. I was greedy and ran out when I smelled the peach. Sir, you didn't predict that I wanted to eat peaches, so you sent me peaches, did you?"
Nanshan had a doting smile on his lips, his eyes were gentle as water, and he shook his head gently, "I was busy for a while and missed your wedding. It happened that a friend visited me today and brought me some peaches, so I wanted to give them to you to try."
