Yuuji scratched the back of his head, looking confused.
Among the four people who came with them was a wizard. It was the wizard who noticed that the bamboo shed built in front of the inn reversed the road flow. After further inquiries, he found out that it was built after the owner of the inn took over.
The wizard suspected that it was the guidance of a master. Maybe the master was the one they were looking for on this trip, the first and so far only prime minister of the Dayan Kingdom after its founding, Nanyangzi!
He didn't understand why his master asked such a question?
"I mean, maybe... forget it, let's go back." Pei Xiyuan felt that he couldn't explain it clearly to him. Xiong Er was the most loyal and bravest of his four generals, but also the least intelligent one.
Pei Xiyuan just had an inexplicable intuition that Jian Ning seemed to be related to the person he was looking for. He couldn't explain why he had such an intuition, but this intuition was real.
After coming out and going back again, Xiong Er was even more confused, but his advantage was that he was obedient and would do whatever his master said.
The two returned to the inn. When they entered, Jian Ning had already given the second dose of vaccine to Manager Tong's child, and told him that if she didn't come fourteen days later, her eldest disciple Yang Jinyu would come to give his son the third dose of vaccine, so he didn't need to worry.
When they came down from upstairs, they bumped into Pei Xiyuan and Xiong Er again. This time, Jian Ning didn't greet Pei Xiyuan again. She just smiled and nodded at Xiong Er who greeted her first.
"Mom, Daddy said he'd take us to see my aunt." Ding Youtian came over from behind with Erniu and Sanniu. When they saw Jian Ning, Sanniu ran over and said, "Shall we go see my aunt?"
Jian Ning pinched her nose and said, "Of course, Mom misses her too."
Tian was very happy to see them. She grabbed Jian Ning's hand, pulled her aside and asked anxiously, "Tell me the truth. Is my belly round or pointed? Can you tell if I'm having a boy or a girl?"
"Why are you suddenly concerned about this? Isn't it the same whether it's a boy or a girl?"
"How can it be the same? Yesterday, a weirdo came over to take a look, and Xiaomai's father happened to be there. Isn't that annoying? No one asked that weirdo what I was pregnant with, but he just congratulated Xiaomai's father and insisted that I was pregnant with a boy!"
Tian slapped her thigh as she spoke, "Sister, you didn't see Xiaomai's father's face at that time. It was longer than a horse's face! Think about it, we already have three boys in our family. If there is another boy, not only will his father dislike him, but his mother will also dislike him!"
Jane Ning was amused by her expression. "What else can I do if I don't like it? Can I put my own child back and recreate him?"
"What are you so happy about? Help me take a good look! I'm so anxious now. If another kid comes along, will I be left with nothing? I'm already worried about where to get the money to marry off three daughters-in-law. If we add another one, his father and I will be completely depleted by them!"
"My dear sister, your medical skills are so amazing that you will definitely be able to tell whether it is a boy or a girl. Please help me take a good look and tell me the truth. I beg you, ok?"
Jian Ning shook her head. "Until the time is ripe, who will know? Who with mortal eyes can see through your belly? Don't worry, it's your own flesh and blood. Even if Big Brother Ma is unhappy at first, you can just stuff the baby into his arms and see if he'll be happy. If he dares to be unhappy and despises his own flesh and blood, tell me and see how I'll deal with him."
"Your words have made me even more anxious. You must have known long ago that I was pregnant with a boy, right?"
"I really can't tell! I've only heard that sour food means a boy, spicy food means a girl. Haven't you always liked spicy food since you got pregnant with this one? Just think about it, how is your taste different from the previous three? But it's not necessarily the case. Some women who like sour food also gave birth to boys."
Tian knew that sour boys and spicy girls were the most likely to be pregnant. She also knew that women with round bellies were more likely to have girls, while women with pointed bellies were more likely to have boys. In short, there were many different opinions. As for taste, she had given birth to three boys and had been pregnant twice before, but due to financial constraints, she took medicine to miscarry both babies.
When she was pregnant with Ma Xiaomai and Ma Xiaodou, she didn't have any particular cravings. The only food at home was pickled sauerkraut leaves, which she ate every day without much concern. She only craved something sweet when she was pregnant with Ma Xiaomi, but at that time, just having a full meal was a blessing, so how could she even dream of sweets?
All these sweet and sour ones are born with penis!
With this pregnancy, she couldn't figure out whether she wanted to eat spicy food because she was eager to have a girl, or whether she wanted to eat spicy food because she was pregnant with a girl?
In short, she was completely confused.
"Don't overthink it. Listen to me and relax while you're giving birth. Don't be too anxious. Excessive anxiety can lead to a difficult birth. If you give birth to a girl, and she suffers extra pain because of your anxiety, wouldn't that be unfair?"
Jian Ning wasn't a gynecologist, and she had never given birth before, so she couldn't say for sure whether Tian was pregnant with a boy or a girl. Unless she did an ultrasound, how could she be sure? But folk sayings were often quite accurate, like "sour for a boy, spicy for a girl," or "boy at the beginning of the month, girl at the end of the month." This meant that if a woman's last menstrual period fell between the first and fifteenth day of the month, the chances of a boy were higher, while if it fell between the first and fifteenth day of the month, the chances of a girl were higher.
She remembered that Tian became pregnant before their family was about to go to Zhuling County. Calculating that her last period was at the beginning of the month, Jian Ning knew that she wanted a daughter, and also knew that Wu Dui's wife in the original time and space gave birth to a daughter, so she didn't dare tell Tian that she was most likely pregnant with a boy.
Moreover, Tian was about to give birth, and even from behind she couldn't be seen as a pregnant woman. This kind of woman was most likely pregnant with a boy.
She naturally wouldn't tell anyone because she was worried that Tian would be anxious about this.
"Come with us for a walk on the street. I see your belly is getting smaller. You'll be giving birth in half a month at most. It would be good for you to walk more."
