Chapter 498 What Kind of Woman is She?
In Qiushi Courtyard, Xin An excitedly pulled Tang Mo aside to talk about how cute Liao Xiaolang was.
"Just like Liao Zhi, he is very energetic and can eat a lot. His belly is round and plump from eating so much. He looks very strong."
"That crying sound was really loud. I have seen babies like that before, but it is rare. Nuer looks like a well-behaved child, but Liao Xiaolang knows he is naughty. I think he will be a talented general in the future."
Tang Mo was also envious after hearing this. He wanted to go and take a look, but it was against the rules. "This military commander is born, relying on God's gift to eat, but God is also partial. Some people are rewarded more and some are rewarded less. Liao Zhi is the kind of person who is chased by God and fed."
"He is strong and has a big appetite. He is very brave and has a good brain. He can fight in the outside world and scheme in the court. He is like a monster."
"That is to say, the world is relatively peaceful right now, and the war in the northwest has been brought under control. If he is given more military power, I'm afraid no one except the emperor will be able to control him."
Fortunately, he and this monster are already in cahoots.
Tang Mo lamented, saying that peace in the world is a good thing, but it is too difficult for military generals to make achievements, and it is even more difficult for people like him to stand out by relying on achievements. "The Crown Prince and the Second Prince have been very busy recently."
How could he not rebel? He is so loyal to the king and protects him.
"Do you think I can give birth to a child like Liao Xiaolang?"
Xin An liked Liao Xiaolang the moment he saw him, and the more he thought about him, the more he liked him.
"That can't be possible."
Tang Mo told her regretfully that he was not as strong as Liao Zhi, did not eat as much as Liao Zhi, and was even half a finger shorter than Liao Zhi. "The only thing I am better than Liao Zhi is that I am more handsome than him. I am inferior to him in everything else."
Xin An laughed, "You have a clear understanding of yourself."
"How many bowls of rice can Liao Zhi eat in one meal?"
Tang Mo described it, "Our three meals a day combined is the amount of his meal. Everyone in the Liao family can eat it, even the girls can eat it. The people under him are even more amazing. They eat five steamed buns bigger than their faces and a bowl of soup in one meal. It's only natural that Liao Xiaolang can eat it. It's natural."
Xin An took a deep breath and said, "No wonder Sister Xu always said she couldn't afford it. She eats too much."
"He can lift a stone lock weighing hundreds of kilograms. How can he have this strength if he doesn't eat more?"
Perhaps because he saw Xin An liked Liao Xiaolang too much, or maybe because he wanted to be a good father too much, Tang Mo decided to start learning the eighteen weapons from tomorrow. Although his bones were stiff and he had already missed the best time to learn, he didn't need to practice to perfection. In the future, when his son asked about it, he, as a father, would always have to know a thing or two.
After dinner, Tang Mo talked about Tao Jiawei's work at the Ministry of Industry. "The Ministry of Industry is very popular nowadays. Even the Road and Bridge Department is very popular. Guess how Tao Jiawei got in?"
"It's just Lord Tao who's exerting his strength."
"No."
Tang Mo said: "The Prince of Nanguang arranged it himself."
"Oh." Xin An became interested. "I was saying that he was more capable than Tang Rong, right? Although he took advantage, he also really gave me some benefits."
"If the girl next door is more powerful, then even if the truth comes out, the Marquis' Mansion won't be able to kill her. If she is secretly raised by then, wouldn't that be what we want?"
"Although the reputation is not very good, the real benefits are obtained, and she does not have to worry about managing the household inside and outside. The dirty work will naturally be handled by the Princess of Nanguang County. She only needs to talk about love under the flowers and the moon."
Xin An herself didn't know that what she said casually was taught to Tao Yiran by the old lady of the Tao family. The old lady said that even if you are the wife of the first wife, there is no need to be the head of the household. It is tiring and will age your face. The most important thing is to hold on to the man and let the man bring benefits to you. Everything else is secondary.
Tang Mo was puzzled, "What kind of woman is this?"
Xin An sighed, "Life is full of different things. In her last life, she had already succeeded."
Tang Mo was speechless, shook his head and decided not to think about it anymore. He went close to Xin An and talked to the peanut-sized baby in her belly.
The next morning, Tao Yiran went out again. Her reason was that she had nightmares recently and Chunlang had been crying day and night. She felt uneasy and wanted to go to Nandu Temple to ask for a talisman to calm Chunlang down. Wang Shi could not refuse her motherly love and let her go tacitly.
"Nandu Temple is a sacred Buddhist place, but she used it as a place for a tryst. She is not afraid that the Buddha will be angry and send down thunder to kill her. When will the time come? Let her come in and out of the mansion so ostentatiously. I am afraid that something will happen sooner or later."
Wang had a worried look on her face and cursed Tao Yiran as a plague god in her heart. She wished she could roll up her sleeves and fight with Madam Tao right now and ask her how she raised the girl.
"Has mother heard any gossip during these days?"
Xin An's people were keeping a close eye on the matter, and the Prince of Nanguang covered it up very well, and no news leaked out.
Wang drank a sip of tea to suppress her disgust and asked Xin An to find a time to go to the Zhang family. "The three sisters know the rules and are well behaved. You can go there for them. If the person the princess introduces is good, then we will be thankful."
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
"The princess' matchmaking is an extra layer of protection."
Xin An accepted the task. She was bored at home anyway, so it would be nice to go out for a walk. She immediately asked Cuiping to deliver a visiting card to the Zhang family. If they received a reply quickly, she could go there the next day.
"I have nothing to do today. Mother, come with me to my second uncle's house. I haven't seen the little girl born by my cousin's wife yet."
Wang agreed with a smile, and soon the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law went out. When the old lady found out, they had already arrived at Tang Yong's house.
Tang Yong, Wang Mian and Xin Chang are now doing business together, mainly dealing in sugar. The Xin family supplies the goods, while Wang Mian and Tang Yong are responsible for sales and shipping matters. In addition to the existing business, they have been very busy recently.
When the mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law entered the room, the man from the dental shop was bringing a row of about twenty people for Youshi to choose. When she saw them coming, she smiled and stepped forward to greet them. She turned sideways and told the man from the dental shop that the people they sent were not good, and asked her to pick a clean and smart girl to send them over.
"Is this the person you're going to choose to serve your granddaughter?"
"That's right. I don't have any girls of this age at home, so I can only choose again. Fortunately, there is still time. I can buy her and teach her slowly."
Then he took a good look at Xin An, said that she looked good, asked her if she was feeling unwell anywhere, and gave her some advice.
Xin An's twin pregnancy was not publicized. Apart from a few close friends, even the old lady didn't know about it. Wang was extremely cautious, fearing that someone would harm her grandchildren. Without waiting for Xin An to reply, she took over You's words and said that Xin An was in good health, but she suffered from the summer heat. "Pregnant women feel uncomfortable to some extent. Now that the weather is a little cooler, she said she wanted to come and see her niece."
"How's the child?"
The three of them were talking and soon arrived at the inner courtyard. The wet nurse came over holding the baby. The child was wrinkled and not fully grown yet, and the placenta on his forehead had not yet fallen off. Xin An took a closer look and became more and more convinced that the young man from the Liao family was very talented. If she had a daughter, she would definitely take him to be her son-in-law.
