In April, Wang Yu received a letter from Cheng Yunfei, saying that he had passed the provincial examination and had become a student. He also said that the teacher asked him to wait for two years before taking the academy examination.
Wang Yu thought that Cheng Fei was thirteen years old this year. If he passed the college entrance examination in two years, he would be a fifteen-year-old scholar, which was already very good.
Wang Yu held the letter and said to Cheng Chen, "Fei Fei is a really good kid. He passed the provincial examination."
Cheng Chen was also very happy and said, "That's great. I have to buy something to reward him."
Wang Yu also nodded: "Yes, it is worth rewarding him. In two years, he will pass the college entrance examination in one fell swoop."
Then I bought a set of high-quality study supplies and prepared to send it to him. Then I thought that my eldest brother's son Xingxing was also five years old and ready for education, so I also bought a set of books and pens and sent it back along with the letters.
There will be another provincial examination in August this year, and there will be new colleagues coming to the Hanlin Academy next year. However, it has nothing to do with Wang Yu, and he was not chosen as the chief examiner this year. He can still focus on writing books.
Lele’s first birthday party is coming soon, and the little princess who is a few days younger than her also has her first birthday party this month. Wang Yu prepared the same first birthday gift for them and will not favor one over the other.
The banquet at Song Boyan's house was relatively simple. The only guests invited were Wang Yu, Chen Yanwen, Cui Hao and colleagues from the Hanlin Academy. However, Master Song, on behalf of the Song clan, also asked someone to bring a longevity lock. Song Boyan was the most promising person in their Song family, and Lele also had a famous name, Song Shuqing.
The little princess's first birthday party was much more grand, with many guests present. Not only did the emperor attend the banquet in person, he also gave her a lot of silks, satins, and jewelry ornaments. The most important thing was that there was a rare night-shining pearl. Wang Yu saw it later and it was super big.
This time, the emperor did not deprive Chen Yanwen of the right to name the little princess as a father. The little princess was named Chen Jin, which means bright pearl and beautiful jade. Chen Yanwen also put a lot of thought into choosing this name.
The emperor also thought it was a good idea, and the next day she was recorded in the royal jade record, officially recognizing her as Princess Mingzhu.
When Cheng Chen had his second child, he didn't experience any discomfort and was able to eat and drink. When Wang Yu was holding him at night, he felt a slight bulge in his belly and suddenly thought of something and asked, "Chen, your belly is getting fatter. Are you always feeling sleepy these days?"
Cheng Chen thought about it and realized that it was indeed the case. He had been eating more and sleeping more. He figured it was just autumn fatigue and didn't think much of it. It was okay to sleep if he had nothing to do on weekdays. Was he gaining weight? He touched his face in disbelief. He hadn't gained weight at all.
"Achen, can you please ask a doctor to come and see me tomorrow?"
At first she didn't quite understand, and now she was touching her belly and asking for a doctor. Then she realized that she was really pregnant. She was happy but couldn't take it too seriously. It would be embarrassing if the doctor said she had eaten too much tomorrow. She touched her belly again, found a comfortable position in Wang Yu's arms, and fell asleep.
Maybe he dreamed about carp all night because he thought about it during the day. In the dream, a carp with a white body and red tail swam towards him and spit bubbles at him. He reached out to catch it, but the carp actually jumped into his hand. Cheng Chen was holding the carp in his dream and was extremely happy.
The next morning, Wang Yu asked someone to call a doctor. He had to be on duty today. Seeing Cheng Chen sleeping in bed, half asleep, he thought she was really cute. He bent down and kissed her, "I've called a doctor. I'll get up and take your pulse later."
Hearing the doctor being called, Cheng Chen woke up immediately, opened his eyes and sat up, remembering the dream he had at night, smiled and nodded, looking at Wang Yu who was wearing court clothes and said: "Well, my husband should go to work, it's getting late, I can see the doctor myself."
"Okay, I'm leaving." Wang Yu leaned over and kissed his hair again, touched his head, and went out.
Then he went to see Wang's mother. Wang's mother thought Cheng Chen was sick, but when she heard Wang Yu say that she might be pregnant, she immediately smiled and said three times, "Okay, okay."
Dabao is almost seven years old, and the family is indeed small. Seeing his mother so happy, Wang Yu still reminded her that it is not certain if it is just a check, in case the doctor comes and finds that it is not the case, she will be very disappointed.
Wang Yu went to the Hanlin Academy to work, and a doctor came to his house soon. Wang's mother took people to Cheng Chen. She walked a little hurriedly, but was afraid of being too rude, so she forced herself not to be so anxious.
"Mom." Cheng Chen shouted as he saw Queen Mother coming in with the doctor.
The Queen Mother said: "The doctor is here, let me take a look at you."
Cheng Chen nodded and sat at the table to let the doctor take his pulse. Both pairs of eyes looked at the doctor intently.
The doctor carefully checked the baby twice, nodded at them and said, "Congratulations, it's been over two months."
The stone in his heart fell to the ground. Cheng Chen breathed a sigh of relief and asked some other questions. He felt relieved when he heard the doctor say that the patient was healthy.
The smile on Queen Mother's face instantly widened, and she was extremely happy. After paying the doctor the consultation fee, she asked someone to send Cheng Chen out, letting him have a good rest. She then quickly went to the kitchen to arrange for Cheng Chen to have a delicious meal.
Soon all the servants in the house knew that Zhengfu had a second child. They were very happy and became more cautious in their work.
When Wang Yu came back from his shift and saw the joyful atmosphere in the house, he knew that he had guessed right, and he quickened his pace as he entered the room.
Seeing how anxious he was, the servant at home told him that her husband was in the garden. Upon hearing that, Wang Yu turned around and went back to the garden without even changing his official uniform.
I was thinking about Cheng Chen the whole day today and had no focus on my work. I was the first one to come out after my shift, which made other colleagues think that something happened at home.
Cheng Chen was feeding carp in the garden at the moment. He had dreamed about carp all night last night. However, the carp he dreamed of looked different from the one in the pond and was more beautiful. This child should be very beautiful too. Cheng Chen couldn't help but smile when he thought about it.
When Wang Yu approached, he saw his husband smiling so tenderly at the pond. Something seemed to flow through his heart, and it became softer and softer. He took a few steps forward, hugged him, and kissed his forehead. "The servants told me you were here."
Cheng Chen felt very comfortable leaning in her husband's arms. She nodded and said, "Well, I wanted to come here for a walk after waking up in the afternoon."
Then he said, "The doctor said it's been more than two months and is very healthy."
Thinking of this, Cheng Chen became even happier.
Wang Yu was also very happy to see Cheng Chen like this, and said, "Achen will have to work harder again."
Cheng Chen just shook his head, touched his stomach and said, "It's not hard."
The two walked hand in hand in the garden for a while. The ginkgo leaves behind them had begun to turn yellow, and it would look even more beautiful when they all turned golden.
The swing next to it was made by someone when we first came to Beijing. In the first two years, Dabao really liked to sit and play on it. He would always come here to play with Shitou. Since he went to school, he rarely comes here. Occasionally, Cheng Chen will come and sit here.
Wang Yu: "Do you want to sit? I'll push you slowly from behind."
"Um."
Wang Yu took Cheng Chen's hand and walked over, standing behind and slowly pushing the swing. The ginkgo tree was blown by the wind, and a few leaves occasionally fell. One of them fell on Cheng Chen's legs. He turned around and looked at Wang Yu, his smile becoming more gentle and brilliant.
Days like this are so nice.
