Princess of Nongmen

Chapter 520 Listening to Ximai for the First Time
As Yaping spoke, she raised the curtain of the shack and walked inside.While Liu Ya was tethering the horse outside, she heard that something was wrong with the motive inside. It seemed that Yaping was vomiting?The voice sounded depressed and uncomfortable.

Liu Ya and Yaping have also met twice, and feel that Yaping is warm and agile, and he is good at speaking and doing things.Now I suddenly heard that she seemed to be sick, so I hurried in.Seeing that Yaping was crouching by the small table, she was really vomiting, and her eye circles were red from the pain.

As soon as Liu Ya came in, Yaping quickly took out a handkerchief and covered her mouth, but she still vomited for a while, and finally got over it, and sat on the bench while supporting the small table.But it seemed that she was just retching, and she didn't vomit anything, so the small shack was quite clean.

Liu Ya came over and squatted down and asked: "What's the matter? If you feel uncomfortable, you can rest at home. A place like a brick kiln is really not suitable for you, a woman, to stay here all the time."

Yaping wiped her mouth with a handkerchief and smiled after taking a few breaths.She waved her hand and said, "I'm not sick, I'm happy. That's what sickness is like." Then she looked at Liu Ya, pointed to the small bench next to her and said, "It's okay, sit down, don't be afraid. After you get married, you will I know, when this woman has a baby, she is always shy at the beginning. This is my second child, and it's better. When I gave birth to the eldest child at home, I was so sick that I couldn't even lift my head."

When Liu Ya heard it, she was also happy for Yaping, and quickly said "Congratulations", and said: "But since you are happy, you should rest at home."

Yaping said: "It's okay, there is a lot of work at home, and those men are also careless. There must be a woman in charge of the accounts and arrange the daily work, otherwise I am afraid that the construction period will be delayed by the guests. But I am here I'm not tired, I just slept for a while."

Liu Ya asked with some embarrassment: "Did I come and wake you up?"

"No, I didn't sleep well at first, but I was lazy and didn't want to move." Yaping said with a smile: "But the old saying goes, if you are lazy when you are pregnant, you will be pregnant with a girl. My eldest child is Boy, it happens to have another daughter now."

Seeing Yaping talking about her pregnancy, Liu Ya couldn't hide her happiness on her face, as if she didn't care about the discomfort during pregnancy at all, and felt happy for her.

After thinking about it, Liu Ya said: "Yaping, can you let me check your pulse? My mother taught me a little medical skills, but I only heard her talk about the pulse of Ximai, but I never really felt it. Well, I want to feel what your happy pulse is like."

Yaping froze for a moment, then asked with a smile: "Is your mother a doctor? It's okay, just touch it. If you come back in a few months, you can even touch your stomach. Then the child will kick and fight in the stomach." Yes, it's interesting." After speaking, he stretched out his wrist.

Liu Ya said "thank you" and pressed her finger on Yaping's pulse nervously.It was the first time for her to hear Ximai, so she was a little nervous.

After examining her right hand, Liu Ya frowned, and asked Yaping to try her left wrist as well.Seeing Liu Ya frowning, Yaping started to beat a small drum in her heart, and said nervously, "What's wrong? Isn't there something wrong?"

Knowing that Yaping had misunderstood, Liu Ya quickly waved her hands and said, "No, no, your body is fine, and the baby in your belly is also very healthy. It should be two months old. I just heard you say that you might be pregnant with a girl." Fetus, I feel that the pulse is not very similar."

"So, do you think this baby is still a boy?" Yaping said, and stretched out her left hand.

Liu Ya nodded and pressed on her pulse.After listening carefully for a while, he said with a smile: "I don't know if the old saying is inaccurate, or I am inaccurate in diagnosis. I feel that your left pulse is stronger than the right pulse. This is during the first three months of pregnancy. It’s a sign of a male fetus. If it’s a female fetus, the right pulse is stronger than the left pulse. So I think your baby is still a boy.”

After finishing speaking, Liu Ya was afraid that Yaping would be disappointed, so she hurriedly said: "But I don't dare to conclude, my mother gave it to me like this."

Yaping laughed when she heard this, and said: "It's okay, a man and a woman are just right, but two boys are also good. If I can work like his father and know how to love others, I will be blessed. I Men also hope that I will have more sons, saying that they can spread branches and leaves for their families. But I like girls, if this one is still a boy, I will have another one."

After hearing this, Liu Ya felt the same, and was happy for Yaping again.

Yaping talked about the difficulties of being pregnant, but more about the fun of being a mother, and then she suddenly slapped her forehead and said, "Look at me, when you talk about giving birth to a baby Just forget about the business. I have to pay you. I am not in a hurry to ask you for money, but I am afraid that you will delay your time and go home too late. "

Liu Ya said: "It's okay, I was passing by here too, and I just wanted to settle the money. I'm also happy to hear about your happy event. It's very good."

Yaping hurriedly took out the account book, counted the accounts with the abacus, then showed the account book to Liu Ya, and said, "This sum is all here, and there are still a few kiln bricks that are also being fired. It's done, it will be ready the day after tomorrow, and your car can be taken away whenever it comes."

Liu Ya saw that there were two numbers below, one of which was the amount of the deposit she paid, and the other number was relatively large, so she pointed and said, "Is this the amount that was settled in addition to the deposit?"

Yaping nodded and said: "That's right. The adobe bricks I ordered before were [-] renminbi, and you gave half of the deposit. Later, I ordered a few more kiln bricks, but no deposit was given. Today they are liquidated together, and the total amount needs to be paid." Give me seventy-two-five cents and three cents. I don’t want the three cents, you just give me seven-two-five cents.”

Liu Ya felt that Yaping gave a lot of discounts, and three cents of silver was actually not a small amount for ordinary people.There was no further bargaining, and he took out a ten tael bank note and handed it to Yaping.

After recovering the money, Yaping rubbed her belly and said, "For your auspicious words, if I give birth to a boy, I should treat you to wedding candy and red eggs. If you pass by next spring, come in and have a look." , I will save the red eggs and wedding candy for you."

Liu Ya agreed, saying that she would definitely come over to ask for a prize.Then he came out and led the big black horse, and rode home.

Everything went smoothly today, and it was still early, and it was just after noon when I got home.Master Gu's apprentices and helpers had just eaten, and Liu Xu'er was busy clearing the dining table and washing the dishes.As soon as Liu Ya came back, he said: "It just so happens that there is still food on the kitchen stove, which was served separately before, so go and have a bite."
