Chapter 311: Just Kick Me Out
The old lady didn't care about what was going on outside, and quickly skipped the topic. She smiled and told Xin An that Aunt Yu had given birth to a boy.
"It weighs seven pounds and looks very cute. It's hungry right after being taken out of the delivery room. You can go check on it later."
Xin An smiled and said, "I am going to congratulate them."
The eldest son of a concubine came out so magnificently. I don’t know whether Tang Rong was happy or not.
The old lady said tactfully, "Having a baby at home is a very happy thing. The baby is very cute, wobbling on his little feet, and calling for his mother softly. Just thinking about it makes him feel cute."
Xin An smiled and said, "Grandma is right. I'm going to go see Aunt Yu's child now. When the child is ready to leave, I'll ask her to let me take care of him for half a day."
"Grandma, I'm going."
Seeing how quickly she ran away, the old lady smiled helplessly and shook her head. The affection between the young couple was growing stronger day by day, so why weren't they in a hurry to have children?
As soon as they returned to Qiushi Courtyard, Nanfeng came up to them and told them about the old soldiers selling charcoal. She also went to inquire with Liu Chang, "Some kept half of it, and two families sold it all directly. They said that they saved some charcoal heads when they burned firewood on weekdays, and they could get by by being frugal."
"But the implication of that is that if things really get tough, the Wang family won't ignore them, so to speak."
Seeing that she was hesitant, Xin An raised his eyes and said, "It is said that a rich man has come to the Marquis' Mansion, so they will not be short of charcoal?"
Nan Feng nodded, "That's what I mean."
Xin An was helpless, so it’s not a good idea to talk things over just because you have money. Once you show weakness, people will try to bully you.
"I have already told Madam Wang about this matter. I will not add any more information. If the Wang family asks you again, just ask Liu Chang to refuse."
"yes."
Nan Feng talked about the baby next door, "The child was so big that it almost cost Aunt Yu her life. In the end, the child was born, but the wife next door was so scared that she had a miscarriage."
Xin An found it interesting, "She went to guard the living one?"
"Just in time. When I was talking about it, I heard Aunt Yu crying and screaming, and blood was being carried out in basins. Before Aunt Yu gave birth to the child, she started to have stomach pains."
"When she returned to Chunhuayuan, she asked the wet nurse to take the baby away with her. The reason was that Aunt Yu had just given birth and needed to rest. It was hard to take care of the child, so she wanted to help take care of the child for a few days."
Nanfeng felt that the court physician was the most pitiful. He had to wait and see if Concubine Yu needed him to save her life, the eldest young master's wife had a miscarriage at a critical moment, and the young lady of the Wei family sent someone to say that she had caught a cold. He was so busy that he was running around.
Xin An was a little surprised. He thought that Tao Yiran, who did not fight for anything, would not be interested in other people's children. He did not expect that she would directly snatch them.
"She is the mistress, so Aunt Yu's child is naturally her child, so it is reasonable for her to take care of it."
"Aunt Cuiping, please help me deliver the gift to Aunt Yu. Tell her that I just came back from outside and was covered in snow and was afraid that the child would be cold, so I didn't go to see her."
Cuiping had seen too many concubines who were unable to raise children, so she had no sympathy for Xueyu. Some concubines of lower status in the palace were sent away after giving birth without even having the chance to see their children, let alone a concubine in a marquis's mansion.
"The gift has already been prepared. I will send it over right away. Madam, please go to bed early. You have to attend the banquet tomorrow."
"Um."
Xin An nestled on the beauty couch, "It's still more comfortable at home."
It takes a lot of courage to go out in the snow and ice. It's not as comfortable as lying on a beauty's bed.
Tang Mo came back very early today and brought her a bunch of candied haws. "I saw this on the road. This is the biggest bunch."
Xin An took it with a smile, his eyes full of laughter, "After so many years, someone still gave me a string of candied haws."
Tang Mo smiled and came forward, "This kind of street food is also very delicious, especially after the snow, when there is snow everywhere, which makes this string of candied haws look even redder and more festive. Try one."
The sugar coating was just right. It tasted sweet at first, then sour, and finally the sweet and sour taste blended together. With the softness of the sugar-coated hawthorn, Xin An smiled and narrowed his eyes, "It's delicious."
"Yeah."
Tang Mo was delighted, "Let me try it too."
They each took half of a hawthorn. It was clearly an ordinary candied haws, but they ate it as a delicacy and found it extremely delicious.
Finally, there was only a stick left, and Xin An felt a little sour in her teeth. Tang Mo brought her chrysanthemum tea. The fragrance of the tea combined with the sour and sweet taste in her mouth, making it taste refreshing and sweet.
She handed the cup back to him and said, "Your luggage has been packed. I asked someone to exchange five hundred taels of silver notes for you. They are five taels each. Sister Xu said you might need them."
"Also, I've sent you custom-made leather boots. Please try them on."
She pointed at the boots on the table under the window and said, "These shoes are very labor-intensive. I made two pairs to order, but this is the only pair I have made so far. There is a piece of iron hidden in the toe of the shoe, and the sole is thick, made of oiled cowhide, so it is not afraid of rain or snow."
Tang Mo La held the boots and looked at them over and over again, as if they were treasures. After putting them on, he walked back and forth in the room twice, waving his fists and feet, "Nice shoes."
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
"I've seen people wearing these. You know what, except that they're a little heavier than normal boots, they're pretty good and warm."
"It's covered with iron sheets. If the thief gets kicked, his leg will be broken on the spot."
I couldn't bear to take it off after putting it on. Xin An smiled and said that a set of leather armor was sent along with the boots. "You can use it when riding a horse. You can't stand the wind. Especially the knees need to be protected. Remember to use it. Riding a horse in freezing weather will make your knees very cold."
In addition to leather armor, Tang Mo also found a heart-protecting mirror and a dagger. "Why did you buy this too?"
"The shopkeeper sent it to me. I think it's good, so I'll keep it. What if I need it?"
Tang Mo looked at these things over and over for a long time, saying that they were all good. He also asked which shop sent them and said that he would go and choose them himself when he had time.
His job is still somewhat dangerous, so if he doesn't have enough skills, he will have to make up for it with equipment, the more the better.
Neither of them mentioned what happened next door that night. Xin An didn't want to mention it, as he felt it would bring bad luck if he mentioned it too much.
Tang Mo was becoming more and more unwilling to care. He was only interested in his wife and his job, and was hoping for a chance to climb up further.
As for Tang Rong's plan to make him disappear before the spring, he didn't care about it for the time being. He just needed Luo Qiwen to keep an eye on him.
The next morning, Tang Mo got up early and pulled Xin An to say goodbye, looking reluctant. Xin An was annoyed by his dawdling attitude, so he pushed him out the door, "You'll be back in a few days, why are you in such a mess? Hurry up, do you want Commander Liao to wait for you?"
Tang Mo, who had already stepped out of the door, turned back and hugged the man tightly and kissed him hard, "You have no conscience. You just chased me out."
Xin An smiled and hooked her arms around his neck, "Then we won't leave. I said, we're not going anywhere. We'll just have the baby at home."
"Quick, close the door, I won't leave."
