Chapter 399 Strange Taste

Seeing his speechless expression, Ye Jiayao bluffed and said, "What? Did I say something wrong? I remembered not to sew the crotch before, but you ruined it."

Such an embarrassing thing, I can't admit it even if I'm beaten to death...

Otherwise, this guy will always tell the child that your mother couldn’t even make pants back then…

That child must despise her!

Xia Chunyu's mouth twitched. Talking to a woman would only bring trouble upon himself. Well, it was his fault, all his fault.

After making a fool of herself, Ye Jiayao was very embarrassed. She decided to improve her sewing skills so that she could make many beautiful clothes for her children in the future. The feeling of making clothes by yourself is different from that of having others make clothes for you. The thread in the hands of a loving mother and the clothes on her children are full of maternal love...

Ye Jiayao seemed to have found her goal again. She just didn't believe that her hands, which could carve out breathtaking carvings, and her mind, which could conceive of delicacies that others could never imagine, could not handle a tiny embroidery needle, even though she was so dexterous.

Someone from the main courtyard came to call Chunyu over for dinner.

Of course, the word "dinner" cannot be mentioned in this courtyard, so the person who came said that Madam invites the Young Master to come over.

Before leaving, Xia Chunyu reminded him, "Don't embroider anymore. It's getting late and the light is not good. Don't hurt your eyes."

In Youshi's room, Youshi and Mother Sun were looking through a small bellyband in their hands, which Ye Jiayao had just made.

The thread ends were all hidden, but the crooked stitches and irregular edges...she could actually sew a curve out of the neatly cut edges, which really amazed You.

"Is this really done by the Second Young Madam?"

Mother Sun suppressed her laughter and said, "Yes, the Second Young Madam is very happy. She asked me to find a pattern and embroider some designs on it."

You was speechless, thinking, Jinxuan's needlework is too bad. When she was a girl, the first time she embroidered and made clothes was better than this! It is true that no one is perfect. Jinxuan's cooking is first-class, but her needlework is also very bad.

How could her precious grandson wear such a defective bellyband?
Fortunately, there is an embroiderer at home. If things really go wrong, there is still her grandmother. It would be pitiful if the child had to rely on his mother.

"Mother Sun, please bring a pair of scissors and remove all the threads so I can fix it," said Mrs. You.

Mother Sun smiled and said, "Madam, don't change it. Although the Second Young Madam is not good at needlework, this is her intention. I see that the Second Young Madam is very diligent in learning it. She will get better slowly. When she is good at it, I will not be able to stop doing it. Besides, so many people are making clothes for the young master. When the good news of the pregnancy is announced, there will be more clothes than we can wear. This one piece is not a big deal."

Yu Shi thought about it and smiled: "Then you can pick a simple pattern for her!"

Let Jinxuan practice, things will get better.

Xia Chunyu and Chunfeng came to pay their respects, and Youshi asked, "Does Jinxuan want to eat anything for dinner?"

Xia Chunyu said: "I didn't dare to mention the word 'eating' to her, but she did eat two of the apricots my son brought back today."

Yu's eyes lit up: "She likes sour food?"

Xia Chunyu thought for a moment and said, "I don't know. My son had to use a lot of effort to coax her into eating the two apricots. Fortunately, she didn't vomit."

Yu-shi and Madam Sun exchanged a glance, feeling delighted, and ordered, "Madam Sun, tell them to bring more fruit to the Second Young Madam."

"Yes, I will do it myself."

"I think my second sister-in-law is definitely pregnant with a boy. Back then, Liuli also liked to eat sour things..." Chunfeng said this very naturally, but stopped halfway through.

Some past events came to his mind clearly. At that time, he was just like his second brother, so excited that he didn't know what to do. At that time, he and Liuli were the closest and sweetest. At that time, he imagined what the child would look like countless times...

However, the child was gone, a fully grown boy.

However, Liuli is no longer in this family and has become a passer-by in his life.

Things and people have changed in just one short year.

Xia Chunyu looked at Chunfeng's melancholy expression and knew that he was thinking of something unhappy, so he changed the subject: "Mother, how long will Yaoyao's condition last? I'm afraid she can't take it anymore."

Not only Yaoyao couldn't bear it, he felt uncomfortable too. He dared not eat any dish with spices, including onions, ginger and garlic. He couldn't drink alcohol at all. After eating, even if he rinsed his mouth, Yaoyao could still smell it, so she drove him to the next room to sleep and wouldn't let him get close to her.

Now he can only eat vegetables, tofu and white rice for every meal. The food he eats is even more bland than that of the monks in the temple. His mouth is almost dry from eating salt.

You sighed, "For most people, the condition would improve significantly after taking a few anti-emetic pills, but unfortunately Jinxuan couldn't even swallow the medicine. There was nothing she could do but endure it. This kind of reaction could be over in a few days at best, or take several months at worst."

"Oh, it's such a pain for a woman to give birth to a child!"

Xia Chunyu's brain twitched and he sighed in his heart: It was such a hardship. Yu's face became serious and she said, "Jinxuan has worked so hard, you should bear more of it, obey her in everything, and don't make her angry, do you hear me?"

Xia Chunyu said awkwardly, "How dare I! She is the most important person in the family now, and we almost treat her like a Bodhisattva."

At this moment, Youshi's heart was completely on her grandson. She could not see the suffering of her son, and even if she saw it, she pretended not to see it. It was just a few months, and it would pass if she endured it.

"It's good that you know it." Yu said softly.

"Okay, let's go eat first. Chunfeng, after dinner, please stay for a while. Mom has something to tell you."

Xia Chun then ate a few mouthfuls of white rice. For him, eating was just to fill his stomach, and he really couldn't ask for anything else. After eating, he immediately went back to accompany Yaoyao.

Chunfeng followed his mother into the room.

Yu Shi looked at her youngest son with all kinds of helplessness. The marriage was dissolved, and Chunfeng became much more cheerful than before, but from time to time he would reveal a look of confusion and disappointment, which made people feel distressed.

"Feng'er, mother knows everything about you and Xiaoya. What do you plan to do? If you really like her, mother will let you take her as your concubine." You Shiming said.

Although Xiaoya's throat has not been completely healed, she can already speak. Since Chunfeng came back, Xiaoya has been serving Chunfeng with all her heart. To put it bluntly, Xiaoya suffered this for Chunfeng. As a mother, she naturally would not object to them being together. With a caring person to comfort her, Chunfeng can get out of that haze as soon as possible. However, Xiaoya's status is low, and she is not qualified to be the third young lady of the Marquis's mansion.

Chunfeng didn't expect that his mother kept him here specifically for this matter, and he didn't know how to answer for a moment.

He has Xiaoya in his heart and knows Xiaoya's feelings for him. He secretly vowed to take good care of Xiaoya in this life, but he is really not in the mood to be sentimental now. The shadow that Liuli brought to him makes him feel afraid of love.

"Mom, can we talk about this later?"

Youshi said, "You know, mother has never advocated that you have three wives and four concubines. Like your second brother and his wife, they only have each other in their eyes and hearts, and they love each other. This is what a couple should be like. Your eldest brother, on the other hand, once thought of taking a concubine, and it almost caused a big uproar."

"But, she has suffered so much for you, we can't treat her unfairly. She is eighteen years old now. If we give her a status so that she can serve you legitimately, I can rest assured. Besides, I like Xiaoya."

Chunfeng said in embarrassment: "Mom, I haven't thought about this yet. How about you let me think about it?"

Youshi sighed: "The past is the past. You can't shrink in the shadows and can't get out. There are still many good women in the world."

Chun Feng said embarrassedly: "My son is not hiding in the shadows. He is living a carefree life now."

You Shi glanced at him and said, "In short, you should consider it yourself. It's okay to take a concubine, but you should be cautious about marrying a wife. You know Xiaoya's identity. After all, our family is a famous and prestigious family."

Chunfeng was silent. His mother had a sharp eye and could see through his thoughts.

Chunyu returned to the room and saw Ye Jiayao eating apricots again. He couldn't help but think of his mother's question.

They say sour boys and spicy girls, maybe Yaoyao is really pregnant with a boy.

Xia Chunyu walked over with a smile and sat down next to her: "You like apricots, I'll buy you some tomorrow!"

Ye Jiayao sniffed and didn't find anything unusual, so she felt relieved and said, "I don't really like it, but I won't vomit if I eat it."

Then he said faintly: "I suddenly want to eat stinky tofu now."

Xia Chunyu was stunned for a moment: "Stinky tofu? Are you sure?"

Ye Jiayao nodded hesitantly: "It suddenly popped into my mind. I thought of stinky tofu, but I didn't feel like vomiting. Does this mean that I can accept stinky tofu?"

Xia Chunyu stood up immediately: "I'll go buy it now. I remember there's a small stall selling stinky tofu just two blocks away. It should be still open now."

Although the taste is a bit strange, and what he can't stand the most is stinky tofu. It is said that stinky tofu smells bad but tastes good. He has tried it several times and cannot agree with it. He almost fainted from the stench, but stinky is still stinky after all.

However, as long as Yaoyao wants to eat it, he can tolerate it no matter how smelly it is.

Oh my God, after so many days, I finally heard Yaoyao say that she wanted to eat. It’s really not easy!
Xia Chunyu left as soon as he said he would, and went out like a gust of wind.

Ye Jiayao continued to chew apricots and caught a glimpse of Qiao Xi and Xiang Tao laughing secretly with their lips pursed.

"What are you laughing at?"

Qiao Xi didn't dare laugh at the Second Young Madam's peculiar taste, and said with a smile: "I think the Young Master is really considerate of the Second Young Madam. The Young Master can't stand stinky tofu the most. He has to avoid it when he smells that smell, but when the Second Young Madam said it, the Young Master immediately went to buy it, and didn't even think of asking the servants to do it."

Ye Jiayao curled her lips and thought, that's what his son wants to eat, how can he not buy it?
However, the taste of this little guy in my stomach is really weird. He doesn’t like fragrant things, but only likes smelly things. He is indeed a smelly boy.
