Chapter 488 Aren’t twins a good thing?
Mr. Gongyang wanted to open a school, and the content of the teaching was decided together with the emperor and the court officials. All the adults who participated in the discussion knew clearly that in just three years, the school would produce pillars of the court. No one wanted to miss such an opportunity and were ready to send their children and grandchildren in.
When the notice was posted, the whole city was in an uproar, because the fifty students were open to all men of appropriate age, regardless of their social status; anyone who felt they were suitable could take the exam.
Faced with an opportunity that could almost be described as a quick success, no one wanted to let it go. Many people who failed to follow Liao Zhi's path came to Tang Mo. However, Tang Mo did not dare to participate in the selection of future pillars of the court, so he avoided it if possible.
The five young men in the clan were all ready to give it a try. All five brothers passed the second round of teaching examinations, and then came to Xin An, asking him to teach them the tricks of using an abacus.
Xin An called Xin Cheng over, and the garden was filled with the clacking sound of abacus beads all day long.
It was the beginning of the dog days of summer and the weather was getting hotter. It had been more than a month since Xin An was diagnosed with pregnancy. On this day, Doctor Qin took Xin An's pulse again. The pulse was very clear this month and it was thought that it would not take too long. However, Doctor Qin's hand on the pulse never loosened and he frowned from time to time. Xin An's heart tightened as his brows were about to close.
"What's wrong? Is there a problem?"
"Don't talk."
Doctor Qin raised his eyes and looked unhappy. Everyone in the room became nervous. After a while, Doctor Qin withdrew his hand and sighed, "What should I say to you?"
"What's wrong? You're scary."
Doctor Qin looked at him unhappily, "The pulse is good, but..."
“Don’t breathe heavily when you speak.”
I'm so anxious.
Cui Ping stepped forward and asked, "Dr. Qin, how is the Second Young Master's wife?"
"It's twins."
After saying this, Doctor Qin frowned even more tightly.
Cuiping was delighted and congratulated Xin An. Chunyang and Chunlu also smiled and congratulated. Xin An was also happy, but Doctor Qin's expression made her feel uncomfortable. "Twins are a good thing, what do you mean by this?"
"Twins are of course a happy occasion, but can you give birth to them?"
Doctor Qin said that giving birth is a life-threatening experience for women, let alone giving birth to two children. Not only is the pregnancy process several times more difficult than for others, but giving birth is also extremely dangerous. "Although you are tall, your frame is not big. You live a life of luxury and eat a lot. If the fetus is larger, it will kill you."
However, if you intentionally eat less in order to ensure a smooth delivery and fail to provide the fetus with enough energy to survive, it will be difficult to raise the baby after it is born.
Cuiping also thought of the problem and said that there was a set of methods in the palace that could help with childbirth. She didn't know how to do it, but she could go to the palace and ask a maid to teach her. "With Doctor Qin in charge, there shouldn't be any problem."
"You've already said that the Second Young Master's wife is in good health. She has a good foundation and with our careful care, I believe she will give birth safely."
"That's the only way."
Lord Qin was very helpless. She was already pregnant, so how could he not give birth?
"Let Xiaoxiao live here and keep an eye on you at all times. When the people from the palace come, we will set up a set of rules for you. You should follow them. Don't be too scared. My medical skills will always save your life."
Doctor Qin laughed again, and his concern was a little serious. "Although it is more difficult to be pregnant, one pregnancy is equivalent to three years of hard work for others. It would be better if we could have a boy and a girl."
Xin An's eyes lit up, "What does the pulse show?"
"Think only of good things."
Doctor Qin stood up and said, "I don't have the ability to do this. I heard that some doctors in the palace are trying to do this. When the baby is seven or eight months old, you can ask someone to come and check it out for you."
"I'll prescribe you a prescription. Try not to go out and just walk around the house. Don't be too picky about what you eat. Eat a little when you're hungry. Don't eat too much. You can't let the twins grow too fat, nor too thin. You have to keep this in mind."
"How can I know this? I can't see it."
Doctor Qin turned his head and said, "Drink more water when you are greedy. I didn't see that I gained weight again."
Xin An shut up. He had been feeling greedy lately and always wanted to eat. He lamented, "When other people are pregnant, they want to vomit when they see anything. Why do I want to eat everything I see?"
"These two kids are so greedy."

Chunyang and Chunlu lowered their heads and giggled. Doctor Qin glared at her. At this time, Wang came. When she heard the news, she was very happy, but then she became worried. Soon Xin An became an outsider again, and seemed to be waiting to be arranged from then on.
"If this is the case, we really can't go out. We have to be extra careful."
When Zhao got the news, she was half happy and half sad. She was happy for Xin An but sad for the three girls. Without Xin An, there were many banquets and the three sisters could not go. Two days ago, Princess Yong An sent an invitation but Wang rejected it.
Wang smiled and said, "Don't worry, sister-in-law. We have already met almost everyone we should meet. The girls in the Marquis' Mansion are very noble. Even if the second son's wife can go out, I will not let her go out with three heads."
"You'll be looked down upon if you always attend banquets."
Wang's intention was that from now on, they should not attend any banquets other than the big ones, and not act like they were selling goods everywhere, making people think they were worthless. "There will be fewer banquets when it's hot. There will be a banquet in two months, and I will let the three sisters go with me. Their sister-in-law can only take them to meet people, and we have to do the real work."
Zhao smiled and thanked him, saying that she was so anxious that she was confused. Aren't girls from the Marquis' Mansion supposed to be reserved? Tang Mo returned home at night and rubbed his hands happily. Xin An laughed at him for being like a big fly. Tang Mo was so happy that he almost went crazy. He didn't care about anything else and wanted to yell at the top of his lungs.
It was also from this day that Tang Mo took the initiative to do Xin An's work, so that she could take good care of her pregnancy and not worry about anything. After all, Tao Yiran next door now has to go out every few days, either to pray, go back to her parents' home, or go out to buy cosmetics. Most of the time, she said that the wife of the Marquis of Pingshun asked her to go to the opera, but no matter what she went out to do, the figure of the Prince of Nanguang would eventually appear, so there was no need to worry about her at all.
Luo Zhu's cosmetics shop opened. Under Luo Zhu's own management and Tang Mo's promotion behind the scenes, not only was the business of the cosmetics shop booming, but the target person, Princess Qionghua, also noticed him.
Unfortunately, the weather was too hot and Princess Qionghua seldom left the house, so Luo Zhu's progress was very slow. Tang Mo once again secretly helped him and revealed the fact that Prince Nanguang had met Tao Yiran privately to Princess Qionghua. Princess Qionghua became interested and excitedly left the house to go to Nandu Temple to catch the adulterer, which gave Luo Zhu an opportunity.
The handsome owner of the cosmetics shop was bullied by his peers. There was blood on the corner of his mouth, his clothes were messy, revealing his collarbone, his hair was slightly messy, his eyes were broken, but also full of reluctance and stubbornness. He staggered to the ground after crashing into the princess's carriage, and looked at the princess helplessly after seeing her. (End of this chapter)
