Chapter 23 Celebrating Mother's Birthday
Since Dong's pregnancy, Qi Luo spent all her time doing housework and taking care of Dong except for class.Qi Luo learned from the borrowed medical books that if the first trimester of pregnancy is not well taken care of, it is easy to miscarry, and it will have a destructive impact on the mother.In order to allow the mother to give birth in a healthy manner, Qi Luo ordered Madam Zhao to invite the mammies who specialize in serving the delivery of his wife, all of whom are very experienced.At the same time, for the health of the newborn, Qi Luo also specially formulated a recipe for Dong according to modern food nutrition, and the combination of meat and vegetables is more scientific.In order to make the mother's delivery more smooth, Qi Luo also accompanied Mrs. Dong for a walk in her yard every day.Qi Luo even hummed a few nursery rhymes for Teacher Yu Duo, and asked him to convert the modern staves into ancient Guzheng music for him to play. Looking at Yu Duo's face full of sweat, Qi Luo felt extremely proud Just let the modern scientific prenatal education appear in advance in ancient times.Of course, Qi Luo's doing these things was of course criticized by the hired nuns, but Qi Luo paid a lot of wages, and Ling Zhu and Dong Shi did not object, Qi Luo still respected them very much, so they also As long as this family is special, it is also Qi Luo's way of letting go.

On the second day after knowing Dong's pregnancy, Dong E's of the Dongfu just asked Rong Nanny to bring some precious medicinal materials to congratulate her. It was heard that Rong Rong meant that Dong E's was too busy organizing the old lady's birthday banquet. Opening up, in fact, Mrs. Dong wished that Mrs. Dong E would not come, so she didn't show any displeasure, and gave 2 taels of silver to Nanny Rong as a reward, and asked Nanny Rong to speak, and the doctor said to let herself grow up quietly Now, the matter of the birthday banquet depends entirely on the East Mansion.After seeing off Nanny Rong, both Qi Luo and Dong couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief. Ling Zhu and Ling Cheng had a bad quarrel, and the relationship between the two governments faded, after all, they didn't like each other.This made Qi Luo very happy. Although she was still leading an old lady, she was an old woman after all, and she was not in charge of the family.So no matter what happens in the future, at least Ling Zhu's family can live a free life now.

Aunt Liu also brought Qi Huan to congratulate Mrs. Dong. It may be that what Qi Luo said that day had an effect, or it may be that Ling Zhu has never been to her yard since Ling Zhu recovered from his illness, and she basically never met her face to face. After recovering from their illnesses, Dong and Ling Zhu's relationship is like honey, and they can't get in at all, so Aunt Liu is very humble and obedient. It seems that she really wants to open up and stop messing with each other. , just want to take good care of Qi Huan.

Mrs. Dong was very satisfied with Aunt Liu's performance, and felt that it was good for her to retreat despite difficulties, so she specially gave her Suzhou embroidery from the south.Qi Luo was also very satisfied, but Qi Luo was not completely relieved, and secretly told Madam Zhao to take good care of Aunt Liu, and pay more attention to what her mother ate.Don't be careless because of Aunt Liu's weakness.

Ling Zhu also tries to spare time to accompany Mrs. Dong, and minimizes the number of times she goes out for entertainment. Every day when she returns home, she will bring Mrs. Dong various interesting small items and ancient foods.

Sometimes Dong Shi was in a bad mood and lost his temper at him, Ling Zhu didn't care, he just coaxed Dong Shi more carefully.Pregnancy is the most painful and hesitant time for a woman. If she does not get the attention and comfort of her husband, her heart will easily fluctuate, which will affect the normal development of the fetus and the mental health of the mother.So Mrs. Dong was very moved by Ling Zhu's actions, and felt that Ling Zhu was a good and responsible husband no matter in modern times or ancient times, and Mrs. Dong's feelings for Ling Zhu were also strengthened by these accidents. deep.

Recently, Mrs. Dong felt that it was strange that Ling Zhu and Qi Luo had a lot of whispers. I don't know what they were discussing?It was already dark, Ling Zhu hadn't come back yet, Qi Luo didn't have dinner with him as usual, what happened? "Ma'am, Miss just sent someone to come and say that she felt a little dizzy, so she won't come here." Mother Zhao said

"Is it serious? Do you want to ask a doctor to look at it?"

"The servant doesn't know either, it's just that the girl is determined not to call the doctor, saying that it's all right to rest for a while."

Mrs. Dong said worriedly, "No, I'd better go and see for myself!" Mammy Zhao carefully supported Mrs. Dong and walked towards Qi Luo's yard.

Mother Zhao said, "Then be careful, madam, don't worry, the girl is always healthy, this time it may be because she is too tired from reading, she will definitely recover after a rest. The girl is also strong, she learns a lot all day In my servant's opinion, the girl is pushing herself too hard."

"Actually, since I got sick, Qi Luo not only has to study but also take care of the house, and even has to worry about me. She really worked too hard. But Qi Luo's temper is too stubborn. If you are sure about something, you can't argue with her." , If you don’t persuade her, you won’t be able to persuade her. Whether she’s studying now or being a housekeeper, these are all good things, I can only remind her to take care of her body and not hinder her, right?”

"My wife is right. The girl is not only growing more and more outstanding now, but she is full of style. Besides, the girl is filial to the master and wife, and she handles the housework properly. In the future, let us The girl in the house will be an outstanding character."

Mrs. Dong is a little proud, after all, her daughter is praised by others. Parents are not unhappy.But thinking of her daughter's low-key principle and the uncertainty of the future, Dong said, "Let's talk about these things in our own mansion, don't go outside. You also know that Qi Zhen in the East mansion is very famous outside." Yes, I don't want Qi Luo to become a focus person like Qi Zhen, this may not be a good thing for a girl, I have to think about Qi Luo's future."

"I know that my wife's servant will not talk nonsense."

When she came to the 'Dark Fragrance Courtyard' where Qi Luo lived, she saw that the room was pitch black, and Dong became even more anxious. She thought Qi Luo had just a little headache, but everything in front of her made Dong think of the worst. "Luo Luo, what's wrong with you? Where's the person who serves you?"

The voice just fell.The room and the yard suddenly lit up. There were 2 western-style candlesticks on the table in the room, and the red candles were plugged in. They were flickering. Two rows of red lanterns were hung in the yard, illuminating the whole yard. Bright red.Dong's favorite song "The Most Romantic Thing" came from the inner room. The music was not as mellow as modern instruments, but a little rustic and sharp. Dong knew that it was played by Qi Luo with a guzheng.Ling Zhu came out from the inner room at this time, holding a bright rose in his hand and giving it to Mrs Dong shyly, because in modern times Ling Zhu basically never gave flowers to his wife.

Ling Zhu said softly, "Happy birthday, wife." Dong took the rose with emotion, and tears of happiness rolled in her eyes. Dong knew that Ling Zhu was a person who couldn't be romantic, but the person who couldn't be romantic suddenly did this. The impact of the arrangement can be imagined, at least Dong was so moved that he was dizzy.Ling Zhu supported Dong to sit beside the table, and then placed the Western food in the dark on the table, looking at the steak on the plate, the knife and fork beside it, and the not very transparent wine glass, Dong didn't know what they were doing. Is it still in ancient times, or has it traveled through time and space again and returned to modern times?

"I used to always want to take you to eat western food, but I never had the chance. I didn't expect that we would miraculously travel through time and space. The wish of taking you to a western restaurant can no longer be realized. I cooked the steak myself. I don't know if it's okay. tasty?"

Dong said excitedly, "It's okay, it's okay, as long as you have me in your heart, everything will be delicious. I'm really happy."

Ling Zhu took out a ring and said, "We don't like to wear rings when we get married, and we can't afford them. Now I give this ring to you, and I wear the other one with a thin chain around my neck. Our wedding rings. Do you like it?"

"Of course, I will wear it forever, and I won't come down again."

Qi Luo came out from the inner room and said, "Mommy, you didn't even praise me. I arranged these things myself. I'm very capable. Do you dare to move?"

Dong wiped the corners of her eyes and said, "I'm so touched, I really don't know what to say. This is my happiest day and the most special birthday."

Ling Zhu took Dong's hand and said, "I know that you have been under a lot of pressure since you came to ancient times, especially after you were pregnant. I don't know how to persuade you, Yuexia, we are all by your side. If you have something to do, you must be with us." Say, we are your closest people."

Qi Luo took out a purse, the purse was very delicately made, but the show skills were not very good, the purse was embroidered with carnations. "Mummy, this is the best one I have ever embroidered. I will give it to you as a birthday present. I will embroider a more beautiful one for you when I am finished."

"It's fine if you don't need this, I like this. As long as it is made by my daughter, I like it." Dong said again and again.

Ling Zhu's family had dinner in a warm atmosphere. At the end, Qi Luo raised his glass and wished, "May Mommy always be healthy and beautiful, and may our family be together forever. Cheers!" Zhu and Qi Luo blew out almost all the candles, Qi Luo sang the birthday song, Ling Zhu picked up the only candle that was still on and put it on a simple cake, and brought it to Mrs Dong, Qi Luo said, " I don't know how to make cakes. I bought them from Qi Zhen's pastry shop. I think they are pretty good. Let's enjoy the benefits brought by the time-traveling girl. Mommy, hurry up and blow out the candles."

Dong closed her eyes and bowed her head to make a wish, then blew out the candles, "I didn't expect you to arrange it so well."

"These are all Qi Luo's ideas, if I can't think of it so appropriate."

Qi Luo said, "Mommy, don't listen to Dad, if he doesn't care about you, he won't work hard."

"I know your father's personality, he wants to save face."

"It's been a long time since I heard Qi Luo call our father and mother? I'm really not used to it."

Qi Luo replied, "Isn't this Mommy's birthday? I will call it only today, and I will still call it Ama and Erniang in the future."

Qi Luo entered the inner room again, Dong Shi said, "Is there any arrangement?" Guzheng sounded again, this time it was ballroom dance music, Dong Shi was surprised and said, "Even this Qi Luo got out?"

"Do you think she is learning music from her teacher in vain? Although there are differences between modern and ancient times, is it all music after all? How can you not dance at a birthday party? This is your favorite dance music."

So Ling Zhu and Dong jumped up to the accompaniment of Qi Luo's guzheng. Qi Luo's guzheng was not very good, some syllables were inaccurate, and some were intermittent, but in such a warm and romantic environment, no one could will care.
