Chapter 399 Giving Birth to Eight Sons
The first day of the new year is busier than ever before.
So many people came to the house to celebrate the New Year that Lu Qiniang didn't even have time to go out and greet the old neighbors.
We consumed five or six pounds of peanuts and sunflower seeds in just this morning.
When no one finally came to pay New Year's greetings at noon, Lu Qiniang breathed a sigh of relief and leaned back on the couch, saying, "I never felt so tired when working before."
Xiao Yan hasn't returned from the palace yet, and I don't know if he has adapted to the situation.
I heard that attending court is a very tiring thing and you have to stand for a long time.
Especially on the first day of the new year, the emperor seemed to be holding some ceremony with his ministers.
Erya poured Lu Qinniang a glass of water and said with a smile, "Just take care of yourself. If anyone can't hold out during the court session, the ones who will hold out to the end will definitely be my father, my eldest brother-in-law, and other military generals."
Lu Qiniang thought about it and it seemed to be true.
Even the frail Fifth Young Master was among them.
What's more, the emperor is not in good health.
"Where are you tired?" Erya sat down next to her and massaged her shoulders.
"No, I'm not in my seventies or eighties and still need someone to take care of me." Lu Qiniang said, "I just feel tired recently."
She strongly suspected that all her strength had been drained by Xiao Yan.
It would have been fine if I didn’t know about it before, I worked during the day and at night every day.
Ever since Daya told her that it was not necessary to have sex at night every day, she felt that Xiao Yan had drained all her energy.
angry.
Just fool her, right?
It must be that this resentment is too deep, which causes her to always feel tired.
"Mom, you're not pregnant, are you?" Erya said with a smile, "We've been looking forward to it for a long time."
Lu Qiniang: "...there is one - no."
You can’t swear during the Chinese New Year. It’s not nice.
Besides, she is now a second-rank lady, so she has to maintain some dignity.
Aunt Sang peeled a tangerine for her and handed it to her: "Madam, your mouth is dry from talking all morning. Eat some tangerines to moisten your throat. This year's tangerines were sent from Prince Yan's Mansion and are extra sweet."
Lu Qiniang took it, tasted a petal, and found it a little too sweet.
She must have been living a good life. She doesn't even want sugar and actually wants to eat something sour.
Some people are just not born to enjoy happiness.
Lu Qiniang asked Aunt Sang to eat the remaining half herself, and she stuffed the orange segments in her hand into Erya's mouth.
"Mom, I'm serious!" Juzi didn't stop Erya from saying, "I want a younger brother. The three of us sisters all want you to have a younger brother."
"What's the point of having that thing?" Lu Qiniang said, "It's already enough to worry about. I like daughters, but I already have three. It's a bit shameless to want more."
The blessings cannot be all given to her alone.
Lu Qin's mother really didn't want her son.
In the family she was born into, her younger brother was a spoiled loser who only cared about money.
I heard a few years ago that his family was still looking for a wife for him.
It is said that because he is rich, the Lu family sets higher and higher standards for choosing a wife for Yaozu.
It’s really ridiculous. What does my money have to do with them?
They didn't dare to come to him because Xiao Yan really didn't tolerate his bad habits, but they still wanted to take advantage of him and brag about himself.
Of course, people cannot be judged as good or bad based on their gender.
But the boy was naturally thick-skinned and found it difficult for him to empathize and be considerate of others. Compared to her daughter's thoughtfulness, Lu Qin's mother really couldn't like her.
Wouldn't having a boy allow you to continue the family line?
The problem is that their family doesn't have any descendants to pass on, so there is no need to have a son.
"My eldest sister said that we should have a younger brother. She has one, and you have one too. At least we can keep a low profile and live a stable life without being watched by others."
"What about you? Do you feel the same way?"
"I think if I give birth to a sister, I'll be jealous." Erya snorted coldly, "Then mother will only like the sister."
"Bah, you are so old now, you are about to get married, and you still have the nerve to say that you are jealous of your sister." Lu Qiniang spat at her.
"Anyway, mother loves me the most." Erya smiled.
"Saya wants a younger brother, and I know why." Lu Qiniang said, "She wants a soldier."
"She said that she wanted you to give her eight younger brothers."
Lu Qi Niang: “…”
"She said that the little friends outside come and go, and are always not in the same place. But my own brothers will definitely not change, so you have to work hard, eight younger brothers." Erya laughed unkindly.
Lu Qiniang laughed and scolded, "She wants to be a female general, but she doesn't rely on her own abilities to get promoted. So she's just trying to trick me into giving birth to subordinates for her? Then I'm like an old sow, giving birth to litters after litters without any progress!"
That kid is really bold.
Aunt Sang couldn't help laughing when she heard this.
Lu Qiniang was a little embarrassed. "Aunt Sang, please sit down. I've already told you that we are all family. I'm also a rough person. We are just a family, so we don't need to follow so many rules."
"Madam, you speak in an interesting way." Aunt Sang couldn't help laughing.
During the more than ten years in the harem, she had engraved rules and caution into her bones, and was careful in every step.
But after coming here, it seems like I have instantly reached another extreme - free, lively, full of worldly affairs and human touch.
Aunt Sang felt like a frozen fish that regained its freedom after thawing and was now swimming freely in the water under the sun.
She had only been in the mansion for a few months and had already decided to spend her retirement here.
"But Madam, after the New Year, we should ask Divine Doctor Hu to see you," said Aunt Sang. "I also feel that you seem to be easily tired recently."
She didn't want to say it, as she also felt that Lu Qin's mother seemed pregnant, so she didn't want to be disappointed.
Lu Qiniang didn't understand her hidden meaning and waved her hand, saying, "No need. I just haven't done much work lately and I'm lazy."
After the first month of the year, she will continue to work hard and become more capable.
"Mom, we're worried that you might get pregnant, so be careful not to get hurt." Erya said helplessly.
"No. I'm having my period in the middle of the month." Lu Qiniang said, "Old Hu told me that if my period doesn't come or is ten days late, I should go see him for a pulse check. I've remembered that!"
Doctor Hu was also very worried about her reckless character. He knew that Xiao Yan did not deliberately take contraceptive measures. Although she was having sex too frequently, she might still get pregnant, so he specifically reminded her.
Children are a big deal, Lu Qin's mother remembers it.
"That's probably because the New Year's Eve is too noisy," Erya said. "With all the bills being collected and porridge being distributed. Luckily, your imperial edict hasn't come down yet, otherwise I'd probably be kowtowing in the palace right now."
"Ah!" Lu Qiniang sat up, put on her shoes, grabbed her coat and went out, not wanting to wait a moment. "I just said I forgot something. I have to go check on the porridge distribution!"
Aunt Sang: "...Madam, please go slowly."
Erya: "...I'm really busy all the time. Mom, wait for me, I'll go with you."
