Chapter 1069 How can they be so similar?
"My servant's child is only half a year old."
After Xichun finished speaking, Yingyue immediately followed up by saying, "This servant's child is eight months old."
"Put your hand out."
Jiang Wan's words left the two wet nurses a little confused, but they still listened to Jiang Wan and stretched out their hands obediently.
Jiang Wan checked their pulses one by one and confirmed that they were not ill. Then he said:
“I feed the children myself, but I have two children at home and I may not be able to feed them enough.
So we need your help occasionally, especially at night, which may be a bit hard for you."
Jiang Wan thought carefully about Song Jiuyuan's words, perhaps they were right.
She wanted to breastfeed, but she also had to take good care of herself during the confinement period. Now, isn't it equivalent to hiring two professional confinement nannies?
"Yes, princess."
"Yes, princess."
Both of them agreed and were taken by Qiu Yan to a small compartment on the side to rest. If there was any movement, they could come in and help at any time.
"Why did you suddenly figure it out?"
Song Jiuyuan remembered that before he left, Wanwan vowed that she didn't need a wet nurse.
"Because my own rations may not be enough."
Jiang Wan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "They got hungry after just a short while of drinking. After all, they are two children, so it's good to have someone to share the burden with."
"I'm glad you figured it out."
Song Jiuyuan was very happy. The most important thing for him was that Wanwan could recover.
"It's getting late, you should go and get some rest."
Jiang Wan wanted to chase Song Jiuyuan away, and Song Jiuyuan was very shocked, "Do we have to sleep in separate rooms during the confinement period?"
He knew that they couldn't share a room, but why couldn't he sleep with Wanwan and the others?
"A child this young needs to wake up every hour or two to feed and change diapers. Are you sure you can handle it?"
Jiang Wan was also considering Song Jiuyuan. She estimated that this young master had never suffered so much since he was a child.
"If you can endure it even though you just gave birth to a child, I can endure it too."
Song Jiuyuan's voice was firm; he also wanted to experience the hardship of raising a child.
This is the only way to empathize.
"Okay, you insisted on this."
Jiang Wan thought that now no one in the mansion would say that she did it on purpose.
She was especially afraid that Mrs. Song would feel distressed.
After becoming a mother herself, Jiang Wan realized that mothers are all selfish and who wouldn’t love their own children?
After saying that, Song Jiuyuan went to wash up and returned to their bedroom.
With Qiu Yan and Qiu Niang around, the bloody smell in the house was completely removed and the house was also very tidy.
But just as she and Song Jiuyuan lay down, the children woke up groaning.
"Princess, please take a rest first. Leave the children to me."
Xichun and Yingyue were busy taking care of the baby. Jiang Wan was not in a hurry. She fed the baby first before letting them do so.
But when they were feeding the baby, Song Jiuyuan had to go to the cubicle to avoid suspicion.
This went on back and forth three or four times during the night. At dawn the next day, both Song Jiuyuan and Jiang Wan had dark circles under their eyes.
When Mrs. Song came over with the cooked bird's nest porridge in the morning, she saw this scene.
She was so distressed, "Wanwan, didn't we hire a wet nurse for you? Let them take care of you at night, and you can have a good rest."
She didn't even notice her son who also had dark circles under his eyes.
Song Jiuyuan's face was full of resentment, and he tried to remind Madam Song, "Mother."
"Why are you shouting? Can't you see I'm talking to Wanwan?"
Mrs. Song didn't even look at Song Jiuyuan, but spoke softly to Jiang Wan.
"You silly child, you should lose weight."
"Mom, I'm several pounds heavier than before I got pregnant."
Jiang Wan had already gone to the space to measure her measurements, and found that she had indeed gained a lot of weight.
But it doesn't matter, she will slowly practice yoga to get her tight body back in shape.
"I look thinner."
Madam Song held Jiang Wan's hand and whispered, "Wan Wan, mother is an experienced person.
After giving birth, don't just focus on the child. The child has a wet nurse to take care of him. You should first recover your health.
All men are the same. If we don’t take good care of ourselves, we might be disliked.”
What she said made perfect sense, and Jiang Wan suddenly understood.
It turns out that this was why wealthy families in ancient times didn't breastfeed their children. No wonder Mrs. Song has recovered so well.
Even now that she is a grandmother, she still has her charm.
"Mom, I understand. Don't worry about me all the time. There are many people in the yard waiting on me."
Jiang Wan was grateful to Mrs. Song for treating her like her own daughter and speaking to her in such intimate terms.
"One more of me is not too much. Now I am old enough to enjoy my grandchildren. I am happy to see children."
After she gave Jiang Wan instructions, her eyes turned to the two little children.
These two children were just born, and now they do nothing but eat, drink, defecate, urinate and sleep, and their wakefulness time is very short.
Mrs. Song looked at the children lovingly until Song Qing's voice was heard outside.
"Madam, can you let me see my grandchildren?"
Song Qing's voice was full of helplessness. It was not appropriate for a man like him to come to his daughter-in-law's room.
They agreed to come together to look after the child, but in the end my wife completely forgot about his existence.
"Your father wants to see them?"
Mrs. Song asked Jiang Wan for her opinion, and Jiang Wan couldn't help laughing.
"The children are just awake now, let them go see their grandfather."
She was quite open-minded. Song Jiuyuan and Mrs. Song each carried a child out of the house.
Jiang Wan looked at the two wet nurses busying around in the room, and her eyes fell on Xichun with curiosity.
"Xichun, are you from Jiuzhou?"
"Yes, princess."
Xichun's every move was like that of a lady from a noble family. Jiang Wan really couldn't understand why a woman of her temperament would become a wet nurse.
"Why do you want to be a wet nurse?"
After Jiang Wan asked, she felt that it was presumptuous, but Xichun didn't care much. She smiled and said:
“My family was not very well off when I was young, and I had a relative who worked in Kyoto, but unfortunately he made some mistakes later on.
Our family was also implicated. Although we didn’t have to become a prostitute for the government, our lives were not as good as before, so they were naturally more difficult.”
After her family fell into poverty, the person she married was naturally not as good as before.
"I see. Sorry to have touched upon your sore spot."
Jiang Wan didn't know why she was so presumptuous. Just at this moment, Mu Xiang came in quickly from outside.
"Master, I just took a look at my Junior Brother and Junior Sister. They look better today than they did yesterday."
"You're just being sweet. How could you change so much in just one day?"
Jiang Wan burst out laughing, but when Muxiang and Xichun stood together, she understood where this strange feeling came from.
The two of them look quite similar.
Not to mention Jiang Wan, even Xichun and Muxiang felt like they were looking in a mirror. They stared at each other in surprise.
How could there be two people in this world who are so similar?
“You…you…”
Xichun was a little speechless. She didn't know what she was thinking about, but the corners of her eyes turned slightly red.
Mu Xiang, on the other hand, didn't think too much about it and said carelessly, "The world is so big that there are all kinds of things. We are destined to be together."
