Chapter 400 Thank you for coming here
As the days passed, the Embroidery Room and Narcissus Pavilion expanded, and the school reform continued to advance.
The four of them led a very busy life. They would go to the art academy for inspection from time to time, check the accounts of Narcissus Pavilion from time to time, and play tricks on some wives of officials from time to time.
It was winter again, and the eight of them gathered at Pei's house. Because Xu Zheng's taste had become very picky recently, she would not eat anyone else's food except that prepared by the chef at the house.
Pei Xuanxi naturally obeyed her, but Xu Zheng became a little depressed since the beginning of winter, as if she was hibernating.
In order to make her happy, Pei Xuanxi tried his best and decided to take Xu Zheng to travel the following year. However, Xu Zheng refused. She now felt unhappy no matter what she did.
But when the Chinese New Year came, she was infected by the festive atmosphere and her mood improved a lot. She made a snowman in the yard with the other two.
At the New Year's Eve dinner, after the cups clinked against each other, several people chatted and Tao Tao asked, "Have you been induced to give birth?"
Hearing this, Meng Yin sneered and said, "Don't mention it. The head of the Gu family always tells us to have children quickly, but I don't care."
Gu Ling picked up some food for her attentively and said, "Ayin, I've already told them. Anyone who dares to say that again will be singing against us."
Meng Yin gave him a thumbs up.
Xu Zheng said: "So, I haven't had any of this yet. The main reason is that the other families are very... gentle. They usually just exchange pleasantries and don't mention these things."
The three of them were ashamed. Perhaps they had heard about A Zheng's temper and were afraid of being punched.
After eating the New Year’s Eve dinner, a few people went to set off fireworks as usual.
Taking pictures was a must on the day of the reunion. Meng Yin excitedly took out the camera and muttered, "The old man is really nice. He knew to leave us a souvenir."
She waved and shouted with a smile, "Come and take a picture!"

As the weather gradually warms up, the four of them will sometimes personally go out to guide the children who have chosen art as their path.
That day, Xu Zheng changed into a more comfortable dress, but when she went out, she felt very cold. She wondered, "Has my body become weaker?"
As she said that, she went back to get her cloak. Pei Xuanxi happened to come out of the study. Seeing Xu Zheng was about to go out, he asked, "Zheng, where are you going?"
As he spoke, he stepped forward to help Xu Zheng tie her cloak.
Xu Zheng smiled and said, "I'll go to the school and give them some guidance."
After the Chinese New Year, Xu Zheng was not so depressed anymore, but she would suffer from insomnia sometimes. This was the most unexpected thing for her, as she almost never suffered from insomnia.
Pei Xuanxi put his arm around her waist and said, "Then I'll go with you."
Xu Zheng said: "Okay, okay."
The two of them went to the largest academy in Jincheng together. The martial arts school was the most crowded. When they entered, a vigorous young man full of energy was practicing kicking and other movements under the guidance of his master.
There were two people watching from the side, they were doing it very seriously, especially Xu Zheng who had a stern face.
But because Xu Zheng often comes here, people who are familiar with her know that she is only like this when she is practicing, and is usually very approachable.
Xu Zheng watched for a while, then took off her cloak and began to instruct them on their movements and shortcomings. Just like the karate coach before, she went down and talked to them one by one.
Pei Xuanxi was not idle either, and demonstrated personally in front of the older people on the other side.
Xu Zheng lifted up a little girl's arm and said softly, "Raise it higher, don't be nervous."
The girl had a stern face and followed her instructions carefully.
Xu Zheng praised generously: "Not bad, not bad, very good."
As she finished speaking, she felt a layer of sweat on her back, the figures in front of her turned into several, and her legs became weak uncontrollably.
With a thud, Xu Zheng fell backwards, scaring the students around her.
The smile on the girl's face turned into panic, and she shouted, "Master Xu fainted!"
Pei Xuanxi ran over quickly, picked her up and ran into the house.
When Xu Zheng woke up, she was already in her room. Xia Nian and the other two were looking at her. Pei Xuanxi was sitting on the bed, holding her hand tightly, his face pale.
"A Zheng, you're awake. Are you feeling unwell anywhere? Do you want some water?" Pei Xuanxi asked hurriedly.
Xu Zheng tried to sit up. Pei Xuanxi brought a pillow and handed warm water to her mouth.
The three of them looked at her worriedly, with some joy on their faces.
"What's wrong with me?" Xu Zheng asked.
Pei Xuanxi said: "A Zheng, you fainted in the school. Fortunately, you are fine. Miss Tao took your pulse and said..."
Xu Zheng looked puzzled, and Tao Tao smiled and said, "Zheng, you are pregnant."
Hearing this, Xu Zheng almost spit out her tea.
"I'm pregnant?!" she said in surprise.
No wonder she was in a bad mood and hadn’t had her period for the past few days. It turned out to be the hormones that were causing the problem.
Tao Tao nodded and said, "It's been a month and a half. You fainted today because you were overworked. Ah Zheng, you didn't pay attention. You scared us to death. Fortunately, you are fine."
As she spoke, she took out a list that listed in detail the things to pay attention to during pregnancy.
Xu Zheng touched her head and said, "I really didn't expect it. I hope you're okay." She subconsciously touched her belly. It was unbelievable that there was a baby here.
Meng Yin said, "Have a good rest. You two can chat. We'll leave first."
Xia Nian stood up and said, "A Zheng, I didn't expect you to be the first one. You must be careful."
Xu Zheng laughed out loud: "It's just a baby, don't worry."
Tao Tao put the pregnancy-preserving medicine on the table and warned: "A Zheng, you have to pay attention now."
Xu Zheng nodded repeatedly: "I know, I know."
After the three people left, Pei Xuanxi brought the medicine and stirred it slowly with a spoon.
Xu Zheng looked at him and smiled, "Pei Xuanxi, why are you still unhappy?"
Pei Xuanxi frowned and said, "A Zheng, it doesn't matter whether you have a child or not. I'm worried that it will damage your body and be dangerous."
Xu Zheng used to be in such good health, but after she became pregnant, she fainted after just standing for a while. He was almost scared to death.
Xu Zheng thought about it and said, "I don't mind, but now that we are pregnant, let's have a baby. This is a big family, and it would be a bit boring if we don't have a child."
Pei Xuanxi nodded and fed her the medicine bit by bit. After she finished drinking, he held her hand tightly and said, "A Zheng, if you don't want to, I will never force you, and I will not change my mind in the future."
Xu Zheng patted him comfortingly: "Don't worry, this is the fruit of our love. I'm in such good health, shouldn't it be easy to give birth to a baby?"
Pei Xuanxi held her in his arms and said softly, "A Zheng, thank you."
Xu Zheng chuckled: "Why are you thanking me?"
"Thank you for coming here." Pei Xuanxi said.
Perhaps because of her pregnancy, Xu Zheng felt like crying, but she held it back and began to tell Pei Xuanxi what she wanted to eat in the evening. Pei Xuanxi wrote it down one by one, tucked her in, and went to ask the doctor if she could eat it. After getting an accurate answer, he went to give instructions to the kitchen.
After Xu Zheng became pregnant, Meng Yin and the other two became nervous. Tao Tao even took care of her baby personally. But just a dozen days later, they received news that a plague had broken out in Anrun City and that assistance was needed.
The disease spreads extremely quickly and highly. Now that the weather has just warmed up, if it is not contained quickly, it will be out of control.
They had experience in this kind of thing, but now that Xu Zheng was pregnant, she must not be disturbed. Tao Tao tried her best to persuade Xia Nian and Meng Yin to stay, while she and Yi Qing went to Anrun City.
