Chapter 710 I heard that my fifth cousin passed the imperial examination
When Xu started, they were very nervous, even more nervous and scared than Xu. Qiao Xuan even couldn't help but imagine many different childbirth scenes she had seen in TV dramas before. She was really terrified.
I thought it would be a long battle, but I didn't expect the baby to be born in the blink of an eye.
Yang Xiaoni patted her chest and whispered to Qiao Xuan: "It turns out that giving birth is so simple and easy. I am relieved! I am not afraid anymore!"
Qiao Xuan burst out laughing. She really wanted to tell her third sister-in-law to wake up. In fact, giving birth to a child is not that simple and easy under normal circumstances. But after thinking about it, she decided to give up.
Why scare her?
When Shao Dalang got home, he was told that he had become a father again. He was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling.
The Shao family's main house was filled with joy. Fang was busy asking Chunyu and the others to boil eggs, dye them red and distribute them to the neighbors. She also told Shao Dalang to remember to go to Xu's parents' home early the next morning to announce the good news.
Soon, people from the second and third rooms came to congratulate, and the neighbors nearby also came to visit and say a few auspicious words.
Everyone said that the child was lucky, having never suffered any hardship since birth. They also said that Mrs. Xu was lucky, having given birth to two sons.
She gave birth to two sons and a daughter. She is the only daughter-in-law in the Shao family's first wife who has children. As long as she doesn't seek death like Zhang from the second wife, she will have a good life.
Many wives, both older and younger, secretly envied Xu and sighed with emotion.
Who could have imagined that? In the past, the situation of the Shao family's eldest house was extremely bad, and the villagers would always talk about it in a mocking and ridiculing tone, but now it is completely different.
Mrs. Xu was also satisfied. During the confinement period, she only needed to eat well, drink well, take good care of her body, and feed the baby well. She didn't need to worry about anything else.
Even if he wanted to drink a sip of water, the servants would give him something that was just edible.
Qiao Xuan cooked dinner and first stewed chicken with Pseudostellaria heterophylla, red dates and wolfberries. This was to replenish Xu's blood. Although Xu's childbirth was very smooth, she had lost a lot of blood and her face was pale. After giving birth, you must eat more foods that replenish your blood.
The family had to celebrate, one for Xu, and the other for Shao Yunduan's winning the top prize in the imperial examination.
Qiao Xuan put a lot of effort into preparing this dinner.
There are more than a dozen dishes in total, including crispy chicken, braised lion head, stewed turtle with ham, stuffed mushrooms, dry pot fish, and blanched dried silk.
Everyone in the big house hadn't tasted Qiao Xuan's cooking for a long time, and they were all eagerly looking forward to it.
Especially Shao Sanlang and Yang Xiaoni, they were very greedy when they smelled the smell coming from the kitchen.
The power of gossip among the people and the speed at which it is spread are beyond imagination. The Shao family's first branch had just finished a lively dinner, and many people from the second and third branches came.
Yan was the first to laugh and said, "I heard that my fifth cousin passed the imperial examination? And he got first place. Is that true? Congratulations!"
Yan was asking, but this kind of thing had spread outside, so how could it be false?
Everyone in the Shao family's main house was stunned.
Yes, no wonder I seemed to have forgotten something, it turned out to be this!
Normally, Shao Yunduan and Qiao Xuan came back last night and told their family such great news. Today, Fang would definitely show off proudly to the second and third wives and the whole village.
As a mother, it is only natural for her son to show off and be happy when he grows up and strives to do well and bring honor to the family!
