Chapter 174 Coming up with ideas
In fact, the upper echelons of Yaojing tacitly agreed that pregnant women could not attend funerals. However, Ge Fu herself did not have such a taboo, and secondly, she had something to hide, so she came even more.
But Zheng Ruonan didn't let her go to the mourning hall.
"Go to my yard and rest for a while. Don't worry, I will tell others that you have burned incense for my mother. Anyway, you came early and there are not many people here, so no one will think too much of it." She said to Ge Fu.
At this point, Ge Fu had already determined how Zheng Ruonan guessed it.
"How did you guess that?" she whispered in her ear.
Zheng Ruonan's expression was a little complicated. She sighed and said, "It is said that when my mother was pregnant with me, she couldn't stand colors other than white. She always wore sunglasses when she went out."
Ge Fu was stunned. She didn't expect it to be such a coincidence.
You know, she had asked Zhen Niang and Dr. Zhou, and it was not uncommon for people like her to do so, but they were rare.
Ms. Zheng's funeral was not very lively. After all, the Zheng family was already in decline. Even for Ge Fu's sake...to be honest, Ge Fu was not a popular figure in Yaojing.
There were quite a few people who came to visit for the sake of the Zhou family's reputation, but because Zhou Heng and Zheng Ruonan had not really gotten married yet, some of those who were really close to them found it difficult to get around.
Although Ge Fu came to attend the funeral, she rested in the backyard most of the time because of Zheng Ruonan's care. She only came out at the very end, so she didn't suffer much.
As for her wearing sunglasses, no one found it strange. After all, she was not the only one wearing them, and the sun was quite strong today.
Even so, Ge Fu was so tired after returning home that he collapsed on the sofa and didn't want to move.
While rubbing her calf, Lu Yao asked, "No one is giving you trouble, right?" He had been worried at home all day, but this was not a wedding but a funeral after all. It would not be good for him to go there in his capacity. If he attracted reporters, it would embarrass the host family.
"No, how could anyone embarrass me?" Ge Fu thought drowsily. The only person in the palace who could embarrass her was the one in the world.
However, Lu Yao realized something was wrong while rubbing his leg, "Are your legs swollen?"
Ge Fu was startled, and suddenly opened her eyes and said in realization: "I was wondering why my shoes are so tight today." She thought that You Rong had bought her a smaller size of shoes.
Lu Yao was anxious, "Don't they say edema only occurs in the later stages of pregnancy? Why is she edematous now?" He has also read a lot of pregnancy and childbirth knowledge on the Internet recently.
You Niang, who was standing by, was also encountering this kind of thing for the first time, and she quickly said, "I'll go call Zhen Niang to come and take a look."
Although Zhen Niang is old, the safety of the princess is more important.
Not long after, Zhen Niang was brought over.
Yao Niang was very smart. She had prepared an electric wheelchair long ago. Since Yao Niang had difficulty walking, she used the electric wheelchair to push her over.
Zhen Niang felt her pulse and checked Ge Fu's calf, then said, "It's all because of her weak body. The edema is caused by walking too much. Princess, you should have a good rest tonight, and the swelling will probably go away by tomorrow."
Lu Yao breathed a sigh of relief.
Ge Fu frowned and said, "I didn't walk much today." She couldn't stop walking in the future. If she kept lying down, she would most likely have a difficult delivery in the future.
"This has something to do with your constitution." Zhen Niang carefully wrote a prescription and said, "Your Majesty has a poor appetite now, and I guess he can't take Chinese medicine. The medicine I prescribed is for compressing. Grind it into powder, steam it, wrap it in gauze and apply it to your legs. In the future, apply hot compress whenever you have edema."
After a pause, he continued, "Although you will have edema when you walk, you still have to walk in the later stages. Don't be afraid of the edema, it will all recover after giving birth."
Ge Fu listened absent-mindedly, but fortunately You Rong and the others listened carefully.
Lu Yao already knew that Ge Fu was going to Mengsha Country next month, so he would follow her, but he couldn't do it without any money, so...
"You want to borrow money again?!" Sun Liao's voice could not hide his pain even through the loudspeaker. "You borrowed so much money last time, why do you want to borrow again?"
"It's all used up." Lu Yao said confidently.
"No way?" Sun Liao was filled with righteous indignation. "Did you find a prodigal wife? Let me be frank with you, we in East Jin are so poor that we can't afford to support a prodigal wife." Especially since you have not only wasted your own money, but you even set your sights on me.
Ge Fu couldn't tell anyone else about her pregnancy, but she could tell her subordinates and good friends.
Thinking of this, Lu Yao said happily: "She is pregnant and her health is not very good. Can you lend me some money and buy her some supplements on the black market?"
This reason was so legitimate that Sun Liao had no way of refusing, but... as a miser, he couldn't help but struggle.
"Well...how about letting Coke make a sacrifice and cut off a leg to give sister-in-law a whole tiger bone wine?" he suggested.
Even if Lu Yao didn't have common sense, he knew that pregnant women couldn't drink alcohol. Hearing this, he frowned and asked, "Are you going to give it to me or not?"
"...How much do you want?" Sun Liao looked aggrieved like a young wife.
"Let's set a small goal." Lu Yao said casually.
"No!" Sun Liao was greatly stimulated and blurted out, "Fifty million at most, whether you want it or not!"
"Yes, yes, yes!" Lu Yao said without hesitation.
I thought that only 30 million could be dug out this time, but I didn't expect that there would be so much.
From the speed of his reply, Sun Liao realized that he had been fooled, but it was too late to say anything. He felt aggrieved and asked with concern, "You already have a child, when will you and your sister-in-law hold the wedding ceremony? You don't want to make the child illegitimate, do you?"
He only knew that Lu Yao found a woman from Hengyang, but he didn't know that the other party was not an ordinary citizen.
Lu Yao also wanted to, but...
He scratched his head and said, "It's not easy for me to get married."
"What's the matter?" Sun Liao was a little anxious. "Don't just play around because the other person is from Hengyang! I tell you, it's immoral to do so. Don't envy those men who have three wives and four concubines. One wife is enough. More wives are a burden. Not only is it a waste of money, but it is also not conducive to family unity. Of course, as a man, I absolutely cannot wear a green hat."
"Look, you should discuss it with your sister-in-law. You don't take a concubine, and she can't take an assistant minister. Just live a good life one on one."
"That's not the problem..." Lu Yao sighed, "Although my girlfriend's parents are gone, she has an aunt. I'm afraid that aunt will not allow us to get married."
It's not that he hadn't thought about taking Ge Fu to get the marriage certificate directly, but the Hengyang royal family had great control over the household registration. He didn't know much about the powers here, and was not sure whether the Civil Affairs Bureau was within the scope of the royal family's powers.
"Isn't this simple?" Sun Liao said without thinking: "Go get married abroad!"
Lu Yao suddenly had an epiphany.
