Chapter Three Hundred and Thirteen: The Congratulations of the Government of the Town
Shi Qingying was pregnant again after six years. This happy event made the Duke of Zhenguo suddenly forget her original plan. Taking a concubine was nothing compared to having a legitimate grandson.
Mrs. Zhen Guogong immediately sent someone to bring a sign to the palace and invited the imperial physician. After diagnosing her pulse, the imperial physician determined that Shi Qingying's body and bones were healthy and she could conceive children well. It seems that after so many years of conditioning, she finally saw the results.
Mrs. Zhen Guogong happily rewarded the whole family, increased Shi Qingying's monthly salary, and even allowed them to open a small kitchen in their yard. From now on, they can cook whatever they want, and they also assigned a cook who is very good at cooking.
"Qingying, don't be angry with mother. She is getting anxious seeing you getting older." Madam Zhenguo sat on the edge of her daughter-in-law's bed and spoke seriously, but no matter how serious her tone was, she could not hide the joy in her eyes.
"You and Lao Qi are happy to see you and your wife loving each other. If it weren't for the sake of the heir, she wouldn't force him to take a concubine." Mrs. Zhen Guogong promised, "Whether this child is a son or a daughter, my mother will not force him to take a concubine."
You have taken a concubine, and you are now in good health. After giving birth to this child, it is natural for you to become pregnant again."
"We have been mother-in-law and daughter-in-law for so many years. You also know what kind of temper I am. If I am really a cruel mother-in-law, I don't know how old the bastard in your courtyard is."
"Mom was originally worried that you wouldn't get pregnant again, so she thought about letting Lao Qi give birth to a son. When the time comes to leave the mother and keep the son, you will treat it as her own, and you will no longer worry about whether you can get pregnant."
"But it's fine now." Mrs. Zhenguo's wife curled her lips and smiled, "You and your wife should talk to yourselves, and my mother will leave first."
Mrs. Zhen Guogong took away a bunch of people who Shi Qingying didn't like and would not use them again. She sold these maids and never saw them again.
It can be regarded as expressing his attitude in the house.
Shi Qingying learned that she was pregnant as soon as she woke up, and after listening to her mother-in-law's in-depth analysis, she still didn't come back to her senses. She waited until Tao Qianze came in front of her and then said in disbelief, "I, I
You really have one? Mom won’t take any concubines for you anymore? You won’t take any concubines in the future?”
"Well, it's all true." Tao Qianze, a grown man, had his eyes red, "Ying'er, you are great, thank you for your hard work."
Shi Qingying has drank many tonics and seen many doctors over the years. He, the person beside her, knows best that she is finally better now and will only have good days in the future.
After Shi Qingying accepted the joyful truth, she thought about how her body was suddenly suitable for pregnancy. The prescription had not changed, and the doctor who took her pulse last time said the same ambiguous words.
She had her own feelings. Ever since she took the medicine and used the medicinal materials sent by Chen Xiuyan, her body seemed to be getting warmer little by little. In the past, she was afraid to go out in the winter, and she couldn't help but feel her cold hands and feet.
When the weather got warmer, she couldn't take off her coat even in spring. Even in the middle of summer, she either broke out in sweat or was so hot that she couldn't breathe. Anyway, she was too weak.
But since she started taking the medicine in February, she felt that her body seemed to be stronger within three months, but she didn't take it to heart. She was just glad that the medicine finally had some effect, but now that she has a healthy body
Only then did I realize that the medicine was really different.
So that night Shi Qingying told her that the medicinal materials she ate were sent by Chen Xiuyan.
Shi Qingying was a woman from the back house and didn't know much about the affairs of the previous dynasty. However, Tao Qianze was different. Although there was no news about the goings-on in the palace, the emperor summoned the prince of Jin and his concubine several times alone, and the capital was not busy.
Many people have discovered some clues, that is, the Crown Princess of Jin seems to have medical skills.
That's why the family of three went to the Jin Palace to express their gratitude the next day.
Chen Xiuyan and Shi Qingying were the only ones left in the room. After Chen Xiuyan sat down, she took her pulse and said with a smile on her face, "Sister-in-law is recovering well. Once the baby is born and she is in confinement, I will prescribe medicine for you."
Lochia, please pay attention to exercise more in the future, and you can have as many babies as you want."
"Beauty, beauty--" Shi Qingying didn't know what to say, so she could only call her name with gratitude until tears filled her eyes.
Chen Xiuyan did not persuade her. After Shi Qingying stopped crying for a while, someone wrenched a clean cloth and asked her to clean her face.
"Don't cry after you cry now. You have two bodies now, and you won't be able to cry when you are in confinement." Chen Xiuyan said with a smile, "Don't stop drinking Chinese medicine in the future. Drinking too much medicine will make your body worse."
It’s not good after all. You’ve recovered very well now. I’ll give you some medicinal recipes. Dietary supplements are always better than medicinal supplements.”
"Xiuyan, it's really thanks to you." Shi Qingying now regretted not taking the medicinal materials sent by Chen Xiuyan earlier.
"It can be seen that my cousin loves you very much. My cousin has not kept concubines for so many years and kept my sister-in-law's backyard clean. I think there will be no such problems in the future. My sister-in-law's luck lies ahead." Chen Xiuyan said with a smile.
When Mr. Tao and Chu Wenqian came back, it happened to be lunch time, and Tao Qianze and Shi Qingying's family only went there after eating.
On September 15th, Chen Xiuyan received a letter from Taiyuan Prefecture. The letter was written by Luo Mingchu himself, announcing the good news. Although the ranking of Qiu Wei was not high, he was already a veritable master of the people. He could not be sure of next year's Spring Festival.
Although he is old, he also wants to gain more experience by relying on him, so he will come to the capital soon.
I want to study with my uncle, Uncle Yajie and Mr. Tao before the Spring Festival. Of course, more importantly, I want to meet more with Luo Mingxin. When Luo Mingxin goes to Tartar in the next year, I don’t know what year or month it will be when we meet again.
Luo Mingqing and Luo Mingnian were also coming together. Luo Mingchu told his uncle, aunt, and the Cai family that they had gone to Taiyuan. The second elder was Cai Baoxiang, a daughter. He did not catch up with his daughter, but he would not go back after coming to Taiyuan this time.
Mr. Cai resigned from the position of Yijiang County's magistrate, thinking of resigning early and returning home, also because his in-laws came, so Luo Mingqing could come to Beijing earlier.
Mrs. Wu will also take Wu Miaowei with her. Mrs. Wu’s family is going back to Beijing. I heard that it was because General Gu made meritorious service while guarding the south and was promoted, but he was also injured and was sent to serve in the Ministry of War.
When you become a high official, you no longer need to fight bravely to kill enemies, and you can still enjoy peace and happiness.
Chen Xiuyan suddenly had some expectations. Mrs. Wu was one of her few friends, and Chen Xiuyan liked her straightforward temperament very much. Moreover, by coming together this time, Mrs. Wu must have planned to let her family see Luo Mingchu.
At the end of the letter, Luo Mingchu also said that they would go to Shouyang County to visit his sister-in-law Luo Wense. After she gave birth to the child, she participated in the baptism of three rites before going to Beijing to announce the good news to him in person.
After receiving the letter, Chen Xiuyan began to tidy up the yard and prepare the residences of Luo Mingqing and others. She was thinking about Luo Wense again, and then thought about Pei Xue. It was almost time for her to start.
