Yu Qinglong was the king of verbal sparring in K University's law department. After graduating with excellent grades, he looked forward to dedicating himself to the legal field. However, a fare...
Chapter 109 Jinjiang First Release Chapter 109 This is a good thing...
Unlike the leisurely and quiet life in the countryside, the noise of cars and horses in the city is always louder.
Wangjiang Cloth Shop in Huaitong County started registering the newly arrived batch of cloth early and putting it on the shelves.
In the past, Qin Yushuang would have been away at this time. But now, not only was he there, he was also helping with registration and offering suggestions for displaying the goods. He said to the shop assistant, "Ludong, go to the clothing store and tell them that the cloth has arrived early. Have them send someone over to select the required sizes. They're running out of summer clothes right now, so we need to hurry up. Oh, and since it's on the way, go to Fuyue Restaurant first and ask the manager to send ten breakfasts to our place. Any steamed buns, soup, or dumplings is fine. I'll pay you when the time comes."
The young man said, "Okay, young master, I'll be there right away."
Qin Yushuang said, "When you leave, take some with you. You came to work so early, I guess you didn't eat anything before."
The young man said gratefully, "Thank you, young master. I will do as you say."
Seeing this, Qin Shengtong stroked his beard and smiled with satisfaction, "My Shuang brother is really amazing now. From now on, I don't have to worry about being lazy if I want to."
Shopkeeper Jiang said, "That's right. The young master has really changed a lot since returning from Qixia Town. He seems to have grown up a lot more than before."
Qin Shengtong nodded. "When he first left, his mother and I were worried. Now that I think about it, this was the right move."
When their youngest son left the house, the old folks kept him in their thoughts. Seeing him finally return home, his face tanned and his hands roughened, they couldn't help but feel a brief moment of regret and heartache. But then, seeing how much more understanding and compassionate he had become, they suddenly realized that it was right to spend more time with good people.
Qin Yushuang finished her work and came over to say, "Father, after the tailor shop comes and gets the fabric, I'd like to get ready to go to Xiaxi Village again. Long Ge'er is probably about to give birth, so I'll bring him some supplements and see what the little ones look like. I haven't even seen a newborn yet."
Qin Shengtong said, "Having a child is a big deal, so you should go and see it. Then you can make your own preparations. Your mother and I have also prepared some gifts for Long Ge'er. Remember to ask your mother about going. She has been busy these days, and I'm afraid she'll forget."
Qin Yushuang agreed and went to look at the newly arrived fabrics, thinking of picking out a few for Yu Qinglong. After giving birth, her figure would slowly return to normal, but it wouldn't immediately return to its pre-pregnancy state, so she had to make some new clothes. Unfortunately, she didn't know how thin he would become, so she didn't dare ask the tailors to prepare them.
Qin Yushuang thought she could bring more. The babies grew fast, and she could get them clothes later.
He had just finished choosing his route when someone from Fuyue Restaurant arrived. Not only were there waiters from Fuyue Restaurant, but also Guo Qingshan.
Guo Qingshan bowed to Qin Shengtong, then said to Qin Yushuang, "I heard that Young Master Qin was here, so I took the liberty to come here. I came to ask about the recent situation of Brother Shoucheng and Brother Xiaoyu. According to the date, Brother Xiaoyu seems to be about to give birth. I wonder if she has sent a message to Young Master Qin."
Qin Yushuang said, "No, I'm planning to go over and take a look tomorrow."
He had come back because Hong Huan had something urgent to do and Yuan Sihan had been taken away, so he couldn't stay any longer. But Hong Huan and Yuan Sihan would be back tomorrow and would come to pick him up, and they could go to Qixia Town tomorrow afternoon.
Guo Qingshan said, "I think she hasn't given birth yet. Well, my uncle and I are busy, so we've prepared some small gifts. I wonder if Young Master Qin would be able to take them with us when he leaves."
Qin Yushuang said, "It's convenient. Boss Guo can just have someone send it to the Qin family."
Guo Qingshan said, "Then I'll trouble Young Master Qin."
Qin Yushuang smiled and said, "It's not a big deal. Qin Fu, you can pay Boss Guo for breakfast."
Before the accountant could respond, Guo Qingshan said, "No, no, no, no, you don't have to pay. You're just scolding me. I'm leaving."
Qin Fu chased after him and gave it to him, but Guo Qingshan did not take it.
At noon, the gifts prepared by the Guo family for Yu Qinglong were delivered to the Qin residence. There were many ingredients, braised food, nuts, and silver peanuts.
Meanwhile, Hong Huan was arguing with his family: "Father and Mother, no matter what you two elders say, I will still take Han'er away."
Father Hong said, "What good will it do you to take him to that rural place? Besides, it's been two months since you last left, and he still hasn't conceived. Just listen to us and bring in one or two concubines. When you go out with your concubines, there will be people to serve you. By the time you have the child, we won't stop you from loving Brother Han."
Hong Huan said, "Father, I've already said that I don't want anyone else in this life except Han'er. If there really is no child, then it's not my destiny. We can adopt one from our clan. I'll go and make the preparations first."
"Hey, you..."
"Forget it, forget it. There's only about a month left." Mother Hong said, "If you can't get pregnant by then, Brother Han will naturally understand what to do."
"Brother Han understands, but your son has to be happy about this!"
"If that doesn't work, we'll find a way."
The servant who was serving nearby stood respectfully with his head bowed. Not long after listening to what was said, he went to talk to Hong Huan.
Hong Huan frowned upon hearing this and asked the maid, "Where is my husband?"
The maid said, "She is doing needlework in the room."
Hong Huan asked, "Why do you ask him to do this? What do the people below do for a living?"
The maid quickly bowed and said, "Master, calm down. This is, this is..."
"What is it?"
"My husband said that I might not have the chance to make these for you again, so I wanted to make a few more for you myself while I still have time."
“Nonsense!”
Hong Huan walked quickly towards the house after saying this, but suddenly stopped and turned around: "Go and ask someone to prepare the carriage. There's no need to wait until lunch to go out. Get ready and set off immediately!"
The maid hurried to pass on the message, and Hong Huan took Yuan Sihan to Qin's house without even having lunch.
Yu Qinglong was freed from his confinement and could go outside to bask in the sun every day. His family didn't ask him to do any housework, but there was indeed too much, so he secretly did some easy tasks, like spreading the feed mixed by his father-in-law into the trough when no one was looking, or pinching off unnecessary branches on the tomatoes and peppers.
The main feature is that it can move around and do some work.
In a blink of an eye, his tomatoes, peppers, and potatoes had already blossomed. So had his eggplants. Some had even produced tiny fruits.
Yu Qinglong was so fond of it that he would come to check on it every day.
But he usually doesn't stay outside for too long, because if he is away for too long he will miss the two little guys in the house.
Fang Wu smiled and said, "You'll miss them after not seeing them for a while, right? Look at these two little ones, they're so cute."
Yu Qinglong also thought the children were getting better looking, more successful, and becoming much whiter. Their hands were so small, with tiny dents all over them, and they kept scratching at things, not knowing what they were trying to grab.
Yu Qinglong gave each of them a finger, and the two little brothers would grab it tightly.
"Mom, you go and rest for a while. I'll look after them."
"Okay, Mom will go see what to make for lunch."
"Long'er! Are you home?!" Qin Yushuang's voice came from outside. Perhaps because she was afraid of scaring him, she didn't speak too loudly.
Yu Qinglong hurried out and said with a smile, "Here. Brother Hong, Brother Yuan, and Brother Shuang."
The two brothers looked at Yu Qinglong in surprise. Qin Yushuang pointed at Yu Qinglong's belly and said, "You, what are you doing?!"
Fang Shu also came out, made way, and said, "Long Ge'er was born last month. Everyone, please come in and sit down."
Qin Yushuang said, "You're going too fast. We thought you hadn't given birth yet. Then, can we see the baby?"
Yu Qinglong said yes and led them into the house.
The two little guys are both on the kang now, awake, with their black eyes open, their little fists clenched and their legs kicking.
The custom here is to wrap children tightly to prevent them from moving and frightening themselves. However, as Yu Qinglong watched, he tried to loosen them up as much as possible, not wrapping them too tightly to prevent them from moving.
Fang Wu had always felt that Yu Qinglong was particularly knowledgeable, so she gradually listened to him on this matter. The two little guys were playing there. They both looked more like Fang Shu, especially the eldest. His eyebrows looked like Fang Shu's eyebrows had been shrunk and placed on the brow bone.
Xiao's eyebrows are like his father's, but other parts of his body are more like Yu Qinglong.
The two of them lying side by side, it was so painful.
Qin Yushuang said, "It's so small, I don't even dare to hold it."
Yuan Sihan obviously didn't dare to do that, but he really envied Yu Qinglong for having two such lovely children.
He looked at him eagerly and asked uncertainly, "Can I touch him?"
Yu Qinglong picked the baby up directly, carefully placed it in Yuan Sihan's arms, and taught him how to hold the baby.
Yuan Sihan held her in his arms, his eyes red, and he held her for a long time before he was willing to let her go.
He took out a pair of small jade gourds for Yu Qinglong: "These two jade gourds are my dowry, give them to the two little ones to play with."
Yu Qinglong said, "This is too valuable. I can't accept it. Besides, you gave them the safety lock before, why bring a gift?"
"That was back then. This was to celebrate their safe birth. Keep it. Let me borrow some of your joy."
“…”
Yu Qinglong accepted the things and said nothing.
After lunch, he took Yuan Sihan and Qin Yushuang out for a walk and a chat. Then he said to Yuan Sihan, "Brother Yuan, would you like to come with me to see my master? Although my master is only practicing medicine in the countryside, he is a very insightful person and has excellent medical skills. Just think of it as a way to relax with me."
Yuan Sihan hesitated. "Long'er, I think I'm not destined to have children in this life... In the past, out of Brother Huan's favor, several imperial doctors came to see me. Everyone said I was just a little weak and there was nothing wrong with me, so I kept hoping. But Brother Huan and I have been married for almost five years, and I still don't have one. I, I actually understand in my heart that you also want me to spend some time alone with Brother Huan. So that's enough. I've been very happy these days."
Qin Yushuang said, "But Brother Yuan, you've worked so hard to get to this point. Why don't you go and have a look when you have the chance?"
Yu Qinglong said, "I think so too. Although the imperial physician is highly skilled, he also knows how to handle things tactfully. Perhaps my master would have another opinion?"
He had hesitated many times about this matter, firstly because he was afraid of getting a bad result, and secondly because he was afraid that it would be difficult for his master. But Yuan Sihan's appearance was really distressing.
So even if there is a real possibility that the result might be bad, Yu Qinglong still wants to take a gamble on that possibility.
Yuan Sihan finally nodded.
He thought that in another month, he would most likely leave Hong Huan, so there was nothing he couldn't do.
So the guys agreed to go early the next day.
Unexpectedly, before the next day, Bai Wanqiu was about to give birth. Yu Qing's family borrowed Wu Sheng's mule cart and went to Shangxi Village to invite Doctor Mo.
This group of people ran to Yu's house.
When it was almost dawn, Bai Wanqiu finally gave birth to a boy.
Due to time constraints, the Yu family did not rush to send Doctor Mo back. Yu Qinglong simply took Yuan Sihan to find a time when the master was free and asked him to help check on Yuan Sihan's condition.
Yu Qinglong said, "Master, this is my good friend. He wants a child, but he hasn't been able to conceive. Can you help him have one?"
Doctor Mo stretched out his hand and said, "Come here and let me take your pulse."
Yuan Sihan walked over nervously and placed his wrist facing upwards on the table.
Doctor Mo took Yuan Sihan's pulse for a moment, looked at him, and asked him to stick out his tongue.
Then he frowned and said, "There's nothing I can do."
When Yuan Sihan heard this, his heart felt like it was being ripped out, his eyes turned red, and he didn't dare to ask the next question. Yu Qinglong also regretted it deeply.
Then I heard Doctor Mo say, "He's already pregnant, what else can I do? I'm not a god."
Yu Qinglong: "Ah?!"
Yuan Sihan was also stunned.
Doctor Mo said, "It's probably about one and a half months old. The fetus is quite stable. But the young master is worried too much, which is not good. Don't be too hard on yourself."
"Master, are you serious?"
"When did I, your master, ever lie to you?"
"Brother Yuan, did you hear that?!"
Yuan Sihan froze. He didn't dare move, not even breathe or blink. He was afraid that if he moved, he'd realize it was all a dream.
Yu Qinglong patted his shoulder and said, "Brother Yuan, come back to your senses! You're going to be a father!"
Yuan Sihan bit his lip, tears falling: "Long Ge'er, I, I can't seem to move."
Yu Qinglong quickly patted his back and said, "It's true. You heard it right. Master, is there anything he should be careful about in the future?"
Doctor Mo said, "Be careful not to get angry, and don't make him sad."
Yu Qinglong said, "Did you hear that, Brother Yuan? Stop crying. This is a good thing. If you cry, the child will be sad too."
Yuan Sihan finally smiled and wiped away her tears, saying, "Doctor Mo, I'm in a hurry today. I will come to your house with my husband to express my gratitude tomorrow. Thank you."
Doctor Mo smiled and said, "Why thank me? This is your own blessing. Stop crying."
"Why."
"Hey, Brother Yuan?!"
Yu Qinglong was feeling happy when he turned around and found that Yuan Sihan had fainted!
