After an exciting night, Tian An finally fell asleep and overslept the next day.
When he woke up, Zhao Yiming had already gone to court, but before leaving, he was still worried about his third mother, and specifically asked Madam Xiao and Xiangtao to take good care of Tian An.
Whenever Tian An thought about the two little babies in her belly, she would suddenly smile while looking at her belly.
Since she didn't have to go out, she was too lazy to put on makeup and only did basic skin care. She asked Xiyou to comb her hair loosely to relax her scalp. The only hair accessory on her head was a velvet flower hairpin that Zhao Yiming and his son had polished for her and she decorated it herself. She looked fresh and elegant.
After breakfast, I went out for a walk in the garden with Xiangtao and Lixiang.
This year, the snow has stopped since the opening of the silver shop on the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, but the weather is still very cold.
After a while, the two maids persuaded her to go back, "Madam, the flowers and plants in the garden are all withered and yellow now. They are not as beautiful as the potted plants in our yard that we have carefully cared for. Let's go back!"
But Tian An didn't want to go back. She had stayed in the palace for so long. In order to keep the baby safe, she either lay in bed or walked a few steps in the side hall all day. When she finally returned home, she felt very happy just looking at the withered and yellow trees in the garden.
"Pregnant women should walk more. Besides, even withered leaves have their own beauty!" If it were in modern times, such a scene could be captured as a shocking blockbuster under the photographer's lens!
Xiangtao and Lixiang couldn't persuade her, so they could only protect her carefully.
As the three of them were walking, they suddenly heard the sound of a zither in front of them. Tian An stopped and asked, "Could this be the music played by the sisters Qinhua and Ranhua?"
Xiang Tao listened for a while and shook her head. "That shouldn't be the case. I've heard Miss Qinhua and Miss Ranhua play the piano before, but it wasn't as good as this. This should be the piano master you hired before the New Year. He's here and is demonstrating to the two young ladies!"
Tian An only remembered this after being reminded by Xiangtao.
Sure enough, after a while, when the piano music stopped, the next piano music that sounded was not so good.
It was intermittent and incoherent, and many notes were played incorrectly.
So, this is the music played by Ranhua or Qinhua!
"Let's go and take a look."
Because he was afraid of disturbing the two sisters, Tian An just stood outside the yard and listened for a while before going back.
The fifteenth day of the lunar month has passed, and the new year is over. Ranhua and Qinhua have started classes, and it is time for her to get busy. She cannot let her pregnancy disrupt all her plans, and the women's hospital should also be opened.
After asking Xiangtao to prepare the pen and ink, Tian An took a deep breath, picked up the pen and began to write a list of various medicinal materials.
The house on Xingsheng Street had been almost renovated years ago. Now we just need to prepare all the necessary medicinal materials and move the staff in to open the business.
If she hadn't been delayed by pregnancy these days, she would have been ready long ago.
An hour later, Tian An stopped writing again.
After pinching her aching shoulders, she handed the list to Deng Xue and said, "Have someone send it to the Qin residence. Please ask Master Qin to prepare it as soon as possible."
Then he said to Xiang Tao, "Send someone to the General's Mansion to inform Yuhong and the others to pack up and move into the clinic tomorrow."
After arranging the affairs of the clinic, Tian An finally had time to take care of the brother and sister in his belly.
Although the children have not been born yet and it is not certain who is the older one, Tian An subconsciously hopes that the boy is the older brother so that he can take care of his younger sister with a legitimate reason.
Being pregnant with two babies is different from being pregnant with one. The double consumption makes Tian An eat much more than the average pregnant woman.
Even Madam Xiao frowned and couldn't help but remind her, "Madam, you should control your appetite. You seem to eat much more than other pregnant women!"
Although Tian An is a doctor himself and knows more about this than she does, she is afraid that Tian An, as a doctor, cannot heal himself and cannot control himself.
Tian An swallowed the rice in his mouth and said, "Don't worry, Ma'am, I know what I'm doing." After that, he finished the remaining half bowl of rice in a short while.
Nanny Xiao's eyes flashed, and after the maids left, she approached Tian An with a burning gaze, "Madam, are you pregnant?" As she spoke, she raised her hand and made a "two" sign to Tian An.
Tian An smiled and nodded, "Nothing can be hidden from Madam."
Aunt Xiao was delighted and turned around twice in excitement, muttering, "No wonder, no wonder! I should have eaten more. Look at me, I was so confused. I should have discovered it earlier."
As she spoke, she seemed to have thought of something, and she came close to Tian and whispered, "Madam, you are giving birth to two young masters and two young ladies in one pregnancy! I had better make preparations early. I have to prepare double!" As she spoke, she couldn't help laughing from ear to ear, and it was obvious that she was really happy.
She knew that Tian An had this ability, but she didn't ask before. Firstly, the baby was too young to be seen, and secondly, Zhao Yiming had not come back, so she had to let him, the father, know first.
But Tian An said, "Madam, there's no need to prepare double portions. Just follow the original plan. They will all be used in the end."
Madam Xiao was stunned for a moment, and it took her a while to react. Her eyes suddenly lit up as she looked at Tian An and said, "Madam, are you saying that this baby is a boy and a girl? I guessed right, didn't I?"
As she expected, Tian An nodded slowly, and now she was even more excited.
The chance of having twins is already very small, let alone twins of a boy and a girl. This is even slimmer than the chance of becoming the top scholar in the imperial examination. If you want to become the top scholar, you can ask for help from famous teachers and rely on your own hard work. But for something like having twins of a boy and a girl, there is no place to ask for help, and it is even more impossible to rely on your own efforts.
"Madam, it is such a great blessing for the master to marry you!" Madam Xiao couldn't help but say.
After Madam Xiao made such a fuss, the news that Tian An was pregnant with twins, a boy and a girl, spread throughout the mansion.
With the previous lesson of Jiang Wanmeng in mind, in order to avoid people getting jealous, Madam Xiao specially gathered all the maids and warned them to just keep the matter to themselves and not spread it around.
The maids and servants who were disloyal or fence-sitters were sent out by Tian An to the second house. The rest of the people were not all his confidants, but they were absolutely loyal. After being warned by Nanny Xiao, they immediately shut their mouths and did not reveal a single word about Tian An's pregnancy.
After this day, Tian An found that Nanny Xiao was even busier, but no matter how busy she was, she would personally watch over Tian An's meals every day, and the smile on her face never faded.
After receiving Tian An's message, Tian An's young disciples, including Yaoyao, the first disciple, packed their bags and moved into the women's clinic early the next morning.
She left them a day to relax and rest. On the third day, not long after Zhao Yiming went to court, she got on a carriage and took Nanny Xiao, Xiangtao and others to the Women's Hospital to give the young apprentices the final training.
