Chapter 715: Chapter 348 Three Joys Arrive_2

Uncle Li, who attended exclusively to the flowers and plants here, was asked to transplant the six orchids and the Jun Zi Lan flower into pots. Seeing these flowers, Uncle Li’s eyes lit up, and he exclaimed repeatedly, "My, these are rare treasures. Especially these two Jun Zi Lan plants, I’ve never seen them before, they seem to be the legendary ’Five Sons Praying for Longevity’ and ’Pearl King’."

Yixiu was delighted to hear this and said, "Take good care of them. I want to take the ’Pearl King’ back to Beijing tomorrow to honor my maternal grandfather."

Such fine things couldn’t all be given to the husband’s family. Master Sangui might not appreciate the elegant, but Old Master Pan certainly would.

That evening, Liang Jinzhao wasn’t tired in the slightest and cajoled Yixiu into playing several rounds of a game.

Now he wasn’t afraid that Pearl Kid would cause trouble either. Since Monkey Brother and Monkey Sister weren’t in the room when they slept, Pearl Kid didn’t dare to come out. With a small net covering the Clam Shell House, he could do whatever he wanted.

But during the day, the net still had to be removed, lest they agitate Pearl Kid.

The next day, except for White Wolf and Dashan who stayed at the Chrysanthemum Courtyard of the Crown Prince Mansion, the rest of the House of Animals followed Yixiu and Liang Jinzhao back to Beijing. They also had the servants deliver branches of the Dragon Fragrance Tree to Master Jin at the Liancourt Workshop.

After entering Beijing, Little Monk went straight to the Qian family, and they went back to Liang Mansion. Upon entering the mansion, the doorman, with an appreciative eye for detail, said, "Young Master, Big Madam, Mr. Pan has visited the mansion. Old Duke, Master Duke, and Master Sangui are all sitting with him in the outer study right now."

Yixiu understood immediately. The examination had concluded, and Old Master Pan must have come to check on how Liang Jinchen had done. Although Old Master Pan was usually aloof and disliked social niceties, since his daughter’s incident, it seemed as though he had been brought down from heaven to earth, getting his feet on the ground. He did this, wishing to raise the Liang Family’s regard for her.

After Liang Jinzhao had washed up in the Lianxiang Courtyard, he went straight to the outer study with the "Pearl King" and a pot of orchids.

Yixiu had lunch and then went to sleep, exhausted from the past few days.

When she awoke, Liang Jinzhao had already returned. He said, "My grandfather really loved the ’Pearl King’, saying he last saw such a flower in Jiangnan twenty years ago. He thanks you for knowing your filial duties." Then he laughed heartily, "My grandfather’s face turned red with heartache when he saw the flower being given to my maternal grandfather. I told him there was still one ’Five Sons Praying for Longevity’ and three pots of rare orchids left, and he felt a bit better. He even said he’ll visit the farm tomorrow."

What he refrained from saying was that, after sending off Old Master Pan, Old Duke Liang’s previously maintained smile dropped, and he even kicked him while scolding, "You little rascal, if the remaining pot isn’t ’Five Sons Praying for Longevity’, I’ll see how I deal with you."

This was the first time Liang Jinzhao was both hit and scolded in public, leaving him utterly without face.

Yixiu couldn’t help but laugh. Although Old Duke was a military officer, he had a passion for elegance, being crazy about orchids, particularly the Jun Zi Lan. Carrying bunches of silver, he collected orchids everywhere, so seeing the "Pearl King" given away must have pained his heart.

Liang Jinzhao also mentioned that after hearing Liang Jinchen’s exam answers, Old Master Pan said he did fairly well and should pass if nothing unexpected occurred, although he wouldn’t rank at the very top.

Yixiu’s thoughts drifted back to the Qian family, wondering how Li Zhandong, her maternal uncle, had done.

On the night of the 24th, Sister Zeng took advantage of Liang Jinzhao’s absence to quietly advise Yixiu, "Big Madam, you haven’t started your monthly period today. Although it’s not certain, we can’t rule out the possibility. You might want to advise the Young Master..."

Seeing Sister Zeng like this, Yixiu too was moved. Her period was always very regular, either on the twenty-first or the twenty-second. Today was already the twenty-fourth, and it still hadn’t come. Although it was only a delay of two days, if it really was so, they couldn’t afford to have any complications.

She couldn’t tell Liang Jinzhao directly, for fear of disappointing him if it turned out to be nothing. Uncle Liang, being of such age, dreamed of having children.

She would have to feign illness for the time being.

Furrowing her brows, she climbed into bed and also clutched her stomach, groaning a few times. Liang Jinzhao was alarmed and quickly asked, "What’s wrong? Are you sick?"

"My stomach hurts a bit," Yixiu said softly.

Liang Jinzhao, somewhat in a panic, asked, "Did you eat something that upset your stomach?" Then he called out loudly for Cai Yue, who was on duty in the neighboring room, "Quick, go call the Imperial Physician."

Yixiu quickly said, "Look at you, I haven’t finished speaking. It might not be an illness; maybe my little day is approaching, so my stomach is starting to hurt."

Liang Jinzhao knew about her problem with painful menstruation, so he sent Cai Yue, who had entered the room, away. After lying down, he began to gently rub her stomach with his warm hand. His hand was scorching hot, providing Yixiu immense comfort, and she ended up sleeping well throughout the night.
