An Wan felt sorry for Tian An, and Tian An naturally felt sorry for her too. He held her hand and comforted her, "Mom, I'm fine. I have a lot of maids and servants. You! Don't worry about me. Just enjoy your leisure time."
An Wan was stunned for a moment, then laughed, "My mother must have been possessed by a demon. I thought this was Shangba Village, when I was living under the rule of the Wang family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law!
But even if there is someone to take care of you, it is still very hard for a woman to be pregnant, especially when you have to take care of such a large mansion, so you have to take good care of yourself.
Now that you're married, Mom can't come over to take care of you often. If anything happens, don't keep it to yourself. Make sure to ask someone to come find Mom and Dad. Mom and Dad will always be your solid support..."
Although the mother and daughter talked for a long time in the room, An Wan did not ask about Tian An's entry into the palace.
Although she did not understand the affairs of the court, she knew that the affairs of the royal family were not something they could discuss casually. If her daughter could tell them, she would tell them. If she could not tell them, asking them would only embarrass her daughter.
She just hopes her daughter is safe and sound, and she doesn't come here to cause trouble.
After the whole family had a lively dinner, Tian An still politely declined An Wan and Tian Mingwu's offer to take her to the general's mansion to celebrate the New Year.
“Although Yiming told me to spend the New Year with my parents before he left, I am the bride and mistress after all. How can I abandon the people and affairs of this mansion and just care about my own leisure?
If the news gets out, I'm afraid my parents will be gossiped about as well."
Tian Mingwu immediately got angry when he heard Tian An say that. "I'm not a gossip, why would you say so much? I'm a rough man, I don't care about this. Whoever wants to say it can say it. My daughter, just go back with daddy and celebrate the New Year."
When An Wan heard Tian Mingwu's bold words, she immediately frowned and slapped him, "What are you talking about! You can not care, but my daughter can't let others slander and smear her."
As he spoke, he reluctantly pulled Tian An's hand and said, "Don't listen to your father. You are pregnant now, and it is icy and snowy outside. It is not easy to walk around. Just stay in the mansion and take good care of yourself. When your son-in-law comes back, if you miss your father and mother, you can come back to see them together."
"Um!"
Everyone was in a good mood today, chatting and laughing throughout the meal. It was getting late, and if they didn't go back soon, it would be curfew. As the year was coming to an end, even if Tian An was reluctant to let them stay, he couldn't ask them to stay, so he had to say goodbye to them.
"Dad and Mom, you should take good care of your health too."
"Xiaokang, Xiaoqi, Yuntian, Yunxu, you must take good care of your parents."
"Yuhong, Zhuhong, Yanhong, Zaohong, Meihong, Feihong, Chenghong, Suhong. Relax during these three days of the New Year. You won't have time to rest after the New Year when the clinic opens."
Seeing her daughter say goodbye to everyone one by one, An Wan patted her hands and said, "Okay, it's getting late, we should leave. It's cold outside and the roads are slippery. Don't see us off. Just stay inside!"
Seeing this, Jiang Shi, who was standing by, also spoke up to persuade them, "Mother-in-law is right. An An, you just stay in the room. Uncle San and Aunt San will send Mother-in-law and the others off for you. Make sure you see them get on the carriage before you come back."
"Sister (Master), we are leaving. Please take care of yourself!"
All good things must come to an end. No matter how reluctant one is, it is time to say goodbye. Tian An could only watch from the corridor as Zhao Ningyan's family saw her parents and relatives off on her behalf.
After walking a long way, Tian Mingwu turned around and saw Tian An still standing there. He urged her again: "It's cold outside, go back! Girl..."
Although Tian An agreed, he still stood stubbornly in the corridor until he could no longer see their backs or hear their voices. Only then did Xiang Tao come forward to help her back to the room: "Madam, let's go back!"
Tian An nodded, then reluctantly withdrew his gaze and let Xiang Tao help her back to her room.
The next day, Tian An slept until she woke up naturally. Jiang estimated the time and brought Zhao Qinhua and Zhao Ranhua to have breakfast with her. As soon as the three of them arrived, Zhao Shuhua, who was left behind yesterday, also came.
Tian An asked the servants to bring red paper and everyone cut spring flowers together, but he asked Deng Xue to accompany Zhao Shuhua to go out and pick up Aunt Xu to come back for the New Year.
While the four girls were cutting spring flowers, Zhao Ningyan took the two boys, Zhao Shengyong and Zhao Shengze, to write Spring Festival couplets.
In the yard, the servants also took out the red lanterns that they had prepared long ago and hung them up.
After they had cut the spring flowers and written the Spring Festival couplets, everyone left the house and saw a sea of red everywhere.
After the servants swiftly put up the spring flowers cut and the spring couplets written by their masters, the New Year atmosphere immediately emerged.
After noon, the doorman came to report that people had arrived from the Mansion of Duke Anguo, the Mansion of Prince Chen, the Mansion of General Zhongwu, the Mansion of Song, the Mansion of Wei, and the Mansion of Han.
As soon as Tian An heard it, she knew that it was her grandmother, aunt, Aunt Rong, and her good sisters who had arrived, and she quickly asked the servants to prepare tea and snacks.
It happened that Aunt Xu and her daughter also came back at this time. Seeing this, Jiang and Aunt Xu immediately helped Tian An run errands and receive guests. Originally, the two wanted to call the three sisters Zhao Qinhua, Zhao Ranhua, and Zhao Shuhua away, but Tian An spoke up and asked them to stay.
"An An is having difficulty moving around right now, so Aunt San and Aunt Xu, please leave your two younger sisters behind to help me entertain the guests!"
Hearing this, Jiang was somewhat flattered. Then, she reacted and quickly pulled her two daughters to express her gratitude. "Qinhua, Ranhua, come and thank your cousin-in-law."
Tian An's belly isn't even noticeable yet, so how can she be said to have difficulty moving? It's just an excuse for them to raise the two children and bring them into their own circle.
You have to know that Tian An's current social circle is considered the top among the younger generation. They are rich and noble, and they can't even get close to it on their own.
Now with Tian An's introduction, not only will his two daughters be able to integrate into the society, but they will also be able to become familiar with the people and gain some experience, which will also be of great help to their future marriage.
Sure enough, with Tian An's introduction, the two girls' good personalities, and the help of Zhao Shuhua, Tian An's apprentice who often followed him, Wu Yufei and Wei Lingran, who were about the same age as them, quickly accepted them, and even several elders gave them gifts.
This time, everyone knew that Tian An was pregnant, so they brought supplements to see her. However, they also knew that pregnant women were sleepy, so they didn't want to keep her for too long. After staying in Duke Zhao's mansion for about an hour, they all got up and said goodbye.
Tian An knew everyone's good intentions and they were all acquaintances, so he didn't bother to be polite with them. He just stood in the corridor and watched Jiang, Aunt Xu and his three cousins see them off.
