Chapter 323 The Same Person
Although it was the original owner's experience, Sheng An recalled it as if she had personally experienced it.
With the same appearance and the same personality, Sheng An had long suspected that she and the original owner were the same person.
However, the Meng Po soup didn't work when she was reincarnated after her death in her previous life, so she returned to this life with her memories and used her special ability to change the tragic ending of her previous life.
Now that the near-death experience has passed, even though the crisis has not been completely resolved, she believes that she and Zhuozhuo can live a long and long life together.
Hearing his wife's laughter, Xu Jinnian couldn't help but smile as well, his hand, hidden under his wide sleeve, grasping hers: "I was so nervous at the time, it felt like a dream."
Sheng An didn't ask him what he was nervous about, but instead held his hand and said, "If you're not as nervous as me, then I won't be nervous."
She was very excited at the time, feeling that she had hit the jackpot and was marrying such a man who was like the bright moon in the sky.
Even on the night before her wedding, she hid under the covers and pinched her thigh, wondering if it was all a daydream and that everything would be gone when she woke up.
Fortunately, this is not a dream.
The couple stood side by side, silently watching the newlyweds in the crowd, watching them walk into each other's future hand in hand with the same red ribbon, just like they had done years ago.
Xu Jinnian returned to the Marquis's residence with the wedding procession, while Sheng An stayed at the Tan residence to drink the wedding wine.
After the wedding banquet ended, Madam Tan saw her out.
As soon as I reached the door, I saw Xu Jinnian walking towards me.
Mrs. Tan chuckled and joked, "You came all this way to pick her up because you were afraid my family would hold An'an and not let her go home?"
Xu Jinnian bowed and replied gently, "It's getting late, and I'm worried about you."
Madam Tan waved her hand: "Alright, alright, I know you two have a good relationship, so I won't keep you any longer. Go back now."
Watched by Madam Tan, the couple boarded the carriage hand in hand.
Smelling the faint scent of alcohol on the man, Sheng An asked in surprise, "Song Zhihang didn't try to stop you from drinking?"
Xu Jinnian rubbed his temples, his voice tinged with weariness: "He's clever enough to have someone replace the wine with water beforehand."
He has to go to the Hanlin Academy for duty tomorrow, so how could this kid dare to let him get really drunk?
Sheng An laughed and said, "He may seem unreliable most of the time, but he's actually quite dependable when it really matters."
The two chatted along the way and arrived home before they knew it.
As soon as I entered the courtyard, I heard the baby crying from the main house.
Sheng An was anxious and quickened her pace, jogging along the way: "Zhuo Zhuo must miss us after being away from home all day."
Xu Jinnian quickly caught up, and upon hearing his daughter's hoarse cries, a clear look of heartache appeared on his face.
When the couple arrived at the main room, the three elders were anxiously pacing around the baby.
Seeing them, Xu Chenglin felt like he had seen a savior: "Hurry up, this girl has been crying since the afternoon, she's crying so hard she can hardly breathe, and she hasn't eaten much all day!"
Sheng An felt a pang of heartache upon hearing this, and quickly took the little dumpling into her arms, comforting her: "Don't cry, don't cry, Mommy's back, Mommy's good baby, don't cry..."
Hearing her mother's voice and smelling her mother's scent, the little dumpling gradually calmed down. Her little nose was still twitching, and tears were hanging on her long eyelashes. Her little appearance was incredibly adorable.
Sheng An's heart melted at the sight, and she leaned in to press her cheek against her daughter's.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and Xu Chenglin wiped the sweat from his forehead: "Zhuozhuo must have been frightened. You two shouldn't sleep too soundly tonight."
The couple readily agreed, feeling even more sorry for the little dumpling and regretting not coming back sooner.
Fortunately, the baby was in good health. After eating her fill of milk in Sheng An's arms, she closed her eyes and fell asleep. She did not experience nightmares or a high fever during the night.
The Chinese New Year is just around the corner, and the festive atmosphere in Beijing is getting stronger every day.
Aunt Niu made a list in advance of the New Year's goods that needed to be purchased and the gifts that needed to be sent to each household.
Sheng An looked it over and thought there was nothing wrong with it, so he asked Aunt Niu to take people to the street to buy things.
Looking at the truckload of New Year's goods she had bought, Grandma Sheng subconsciously said, "Qingzhou is still the best; there's no shortage of leafy greens during the New Year."
Winters in Beijing are too cold; the only cold-resistant vegetable is the radish.
Sheng An could tell that the old lady missed her hometown, so he stepped forward, hugged her arm, and said, "Let's take Zhuozhuo back to our hometown for a visit when the weather is neither too hot nor too cold in the second half of next year."
Grandma Sheng's eyes lit up, then she shook her head: "Next year won't work, the child is too young, how can he withstand the bumpy ride?"
Sheng An glanced at the little bundle of milk being held by Hong Liu, stretched out his arm and pinched the toes curled up like tiny balls: "She's got a pretty tough little body, she hasn't had any problems since she was born..."
Before she could finish speaking, Grandma Sheng quickly covered her mouth, saying, "Don't talk nonsense during the New Year!"
When it comes to children, the older generation's ideas are somewhat mystical; otherwise, they wouldn't give newborns a "lowly" name, believing that such a name would make them easier to raise.
They also wouldn't praise their children in front of them, believing it would attract the jealousy of demons and monsters who would steal their souls.
Sheng An didn't dare to offend the old lady, so she immediately shut up and continued to pinch the little dumpling's toes.
The little dumpling got annoyed by being pinched and kept kicking its legs in protest, making dissatisfied whimpering noises.
Seeing this, Grandma Sheng playfully patted her granddaughter's hand twice: "You're a mother now, why are you still acting like a child?"
Sheng An said with a grin, "Am I not a child in Grandma's eyes either?"
Grandma Sheng had nothing to say, so she took her great-granddaughter and coaxed her, "Let's go back to our room and sleep, and ignore your unreliable mother."
The little dumpling responded with cooing and waving its little arms clumsily a couple of times.
Looking at her adorable appearance, Grandma Sheng's face was filled with a loving smile: "Our Zhuozhuo is so smart~"
Sheng An leaned over and poked the little dumpling's chubby face: "Of course he's smart, since I gave birth to him!"
Grandma Sheng was speechless at her granddaughter's shamelessness: "Zhuozhuo looks like her father, so I suppose her head is like his too."
Sheng An felt this was unfair and retorted, "That's perfect, he looks like his father and his brains like his mother's."
Grandma Sheng asked sincerely, "Do you think it would be better if Zhuozhuo's mind was like yours?"
Sheng An: "..."
However, when it comes to learning knowledge, her mind is indeed not as sharp as Xu Jinnian's.
Hmm, when the little dumpling grows up, she will teach the little dumpling skills, and Xu Jinnian will teach the little dumpling knowledge.
This is called teamwork; it makes the work easier.
The little dumpling, whose plans had been meticulously laid out, was speechless.
Who is this going to kill?
Is it too late to be reborn now?
Sheng An didn't think anything was wrong.
Reading broadens one's horizons, enlightens one's mind, and provides a skill to support one's family. This is a good path for women in this era, allowing them to live well on their own.
