It turns out that sleeping with my wife close to me is the best thing.
My wife doesn't like the smell of alcohol, so no one is allowed to invite him to drink from now on.
He would get angry with anyone who persuaded him to drink in the future! He Yanxiu thought about this matter, and leaned sideways, getting closer to Su Yujin, and then closed his eyes.
Xing'an in the front yard was carrying He Yanxiu's official uniform and walking back and forth at the second gate.
Mother Du, who was guarding the second gate, was really dizzy from Xing'an's spinning. She just rubbed her temples and shouted at Xing'an to stop.
"Mother Du, can you just pretend you didn't see it?" Xing'an said, "If I don't walk back and forth, I'll be very nervous."
"Why are you panicking?" Mother Du was puzzled.
"It's already this late and the Second Master hasn't left the house yet. It's almost late for court. How can I not be panicked?" Xing'an stamped his feet.
Mother Du looked Xing'an up and down, and then curled her lips, "You have been with the Second Master for at least ten years, and you are almost like the newcomer. Now that the princess is pregnant, can the Second Master still go to the morning court?"
"If I were you, I wouldn't be waiting here right now, but would send someone to ask for leave right away. This is the serious business!"
Xing'an, "..."
That makes so much sense!
How could he be so blinded by greed that he didn't think of this?
Speaking of which, it must be because the Second Master didn't sleep well last night and was tossing and turning, so he didn't rest well and even his mind was confused! Xing'an thought through this and didn't dare to delay any longer, so he hurried to arrange this matter.
Su Yujin and He Yanxiu were sleeping soundly, but Mrs. Lu got up early and went to pay her respects to Madam He and explained that Su Yujin was pregnant.
Upon hearing this, Madam He was surprised and delighted, clapping her hands and laughing, "No wonder I kept hearing the magpies chirping on the branches yesterday. I thought Yan Xiu or Cheng Ye was going to be promoted again, but I never thought it was an even bigger happy event than this!"
"My daughter-in-law also thinks it's a great joy." Mrs. Lu's face was as bright as a peony. "Although Doctor Xue said that Yujin's pregnancy is stable and Yujin is young and healthy, it is her first child after all, so we should pay more attention to it."
"So my daughter-in-law took the initiative and told Yujin to sleep a little longer every day. She didn't need to worry about the etiquette of paying respects to the elders, and just let her rest and take care of the baby."
"You did the right thing." Madam He nodded repeatedly. "Yujin is pregnant, so this is the way it should be. In addition, tell everyone in the mansion to always put Yujin first, and not let anyone be lazy or slack."
"Besides, since Yujin is pregnant, don't let her do those things in the kitchen. But Yujin is a good cook, so she is a bit picky. Then ask people to find some chefs with excellent cooking skills to cook for Yujin in different ways."
"Also, although Yu Jin has only been pregnant for a little over a month, the days pass by in the blink of an eye. In addition to Yu Jin's daily necessities, many things for delivery must be prepared in advance..."
"That's right, mother." Mrs. Lu agreed with Madam He's words and nodded hurriedly, "I will start looking for fabrics now. First, I want to buy Yujin a few more new clothes. Second, I want to prepare clothes, quilts and other things for the children."
In addition, there were midwives, doctors who checked the patient's pulse, maids who looked after the child, wet nurses...
Everything needs to be prepared in advance!
"Yes, Yu Jin is pregnant, and the people who take care of her have to be more careful. She has always been a trouble-maker and doesn't like too many people around her, but now that there are not many situations, she should have a few more reliable people around her."
Madam He thought for a moment and said, "As for maids and servants, as long as you think they are steady, capable and loyal, pick a few of them and send them over. If you can't choose the right ones, you can buy them from outside to make everything more complete..."
"Mother." Mrs. Lu interrupted Madam He. "I think if we transfer people from our side, Yu Jin may have concerns and feel that she is overstepping her duty. But if we buy from outside, they are new hands and may not have done such work before. We may not be able to understand Yu Jin's temperament and character, and we may not be able to serve her well."
"After thinking about it, why don't mother and daughter-in-law take some time to go to the palace to see the queen, first to tell her the good news, and second to ask the queen to send two old aunts who have unique experience in serving pregnant women and giving birth to our house. They not only understand the rules, but also can take good care of Yujin."
"What does mother think?"
"That's a good idea!" Madam He slapped her thigh fiercely and said, "In my opinion, there is no need to set aside time. Today is a very good day. Let's send someone to the palace to see if the queen is free today."
"Yes." Lu agreed and discussed other matters with Madam He with a smile.
The post delivered to the palace soon received a response, and Madam He and Lu entered the palace in the afternoon.
When he came out in the evening, he happily returned to the He family with a whole car of rewards and two kind-looking and hardworking aunts.
Su Yujin was fully aware of Madam He and Mrs. Lu's intentions regarding having two more aunts from the palace to serve her. Moreover, she had been really lazy these days and only thought about eating and drinking all day long. She thought it would be nice to have two more experienced aunts to serve her, so she did not refuse. She only thanked Madam He and Mrs. Lu and even sent someone to the palace gate to thank the Queen for her kindness.
There were two aunts from the palace, one named Wan and the other named Qian. The former was best at making all kinds of snacks and dried fruits, especially pickled plums and apricots, while the latter was best at taking care of the daily chores of expectant mothers and postpartum women, and could also make some common medicinal foods.
A few days later, a few more cooks hired by Lu from outside joined the small kitchen.
Sichuan cuisine, Cantonese cuisine, Huaiyang cuisine, Su's dim sum, Cantonese snacks, Beijing specialties, each one has its own specialty. The dishes made every day are delicious and are delivered to Su Yujin's house like water.
Su Yujin had been a glutton recently, and now she was given a pillow because she fell asleep. For the next period of time, Su Yujin just ate and drank, and stayed at home to rest and take care of her pregnancy.
The news of the pregnancy soon reached the Su family, and both Lu and Su Yunruo came to visit.
"You look very healthy and in good spirits. You don't seem to be suffering from morning sickness. I can feel a little relieved." Mrs. Lu touched Su Yujin's cheek, her face full of smiles, but her eyes were full of worry.
For this woman, childbirth was a difficult process, but the days during pregnancy were not easy either.
In the early stage, there are morning sickness and various discomforts. In the later months, you will face the heavy body, violent fetal movements, and inconvenience in movement...
