Chapter 267 It’s definitely difficult
Just as I walked to the study door, I heard Xiao Min'er's voice: "Uncle, I told Grandpa that the first boy we have will have his last name to repay his kindness to us."
Xie Jiantu didn't say anything for a while.
"Uncle, if you say this, grandpa will help us." Xiao Min'er said in a childish voice.
"You shouldn't be thinking about these questions. You just need to study." Xie Jian tried to sound normal, but one could still hear a hint of discomfort.
"Uncle, I can study hard. But Min'er also wants to help Uncle share some of the burden. Uncle treats me like his own father." Min'er's childish voice revealed precociousness: "Min'er also wants him to fulfill his wish."
When Shen Heng walked into the room, both the uncle and nephew were sitting very straight, and they looked like they were discussing something while chatting.
"Freshly baked sweet potatoes." Chen Heng split the sweet potato in half: "It's so sweet."
"It smells so good." Xiao Miner said happily, "Thank you, Auntie."
Shen Heng touched his head. Min'er had suffered since childhood, and he was destined to be different from other children.
In the next few days, Xia and Feng prepared meals for Min'er every day. By the time Min'er went to visit the king's eunuchs in mid-January, he had gained a lot of weight.
Just as the family watched Min'er get on the carriage to the Prince's palace, a firecracker sounded suddenly.
It's almost summer.
"Mother, aunt, and nanny, when I come over later, let's set off firecrackers together." The carriage had already run dozens of meters when Min'er leaned out of the small window and said loudly.
"Yes." Xia responded.
"Sister-in-law, don't forget my role." Shen Heng said excitedly.
"You never grow up." Xia smiled and shook her head: "I can't forget you."
Just as the three of them were looking at each other and smiling as they headed back to the house, a carriage from Prince Ning's mansion stopped in front of them. Madam Liao came down excitedly and said, "Old sister, the girl has given birth to a chubby baby boy."
Liu Zhiyue gave birth to a seven-jin son. The news came out at Prince Ning's Mansion that morning.
Aunt Feng was so excited that she went to the temple to fulfill her vow that day.
Chen Heng didn't discriminate against girls, and she was genuinely happy for Liu Zhiyue. Life was so difficult for women in this day and age. Not to mention ancient times, even in modern times, mothers were often honored by having sons. In such a world, having a boy would make life easier, which was quite a blessing.
She has always been fascinated by the Si family. This family made her feel very powerful. The Si family also played a big role in Xie Jian's rapid promotion.
Chen Heng felt that this family had ulterior motives.
The day before the Spring Festival, there was another heavy snowfall.
Although firecrackers could be heard from time to time, the people were still angry because Wanzhou was still in the hands of the enemy, and they had no time to think about the war. It was not until the evening that news came that the emperor ordered the prince to lead the army in person.
In the evening, as soon as Xie Jian arrived, Shen Heng confirmed the news.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will lead his troops to war on the third day of the first lunar month." Xie Jian took out the case file and looked at it out of habit.
"Then should we bring the food and weapons?" Chen Heng asked.
Xie Jian thought for a moment and said, "It's difficult. So, the emperor ordered all the major families to contribute. The four most powerful families of the Dacong clan, and the other aristocratic families."
"Will they?"
