Chapter 472 Madam, Congratulations
In the Qiushi Courtyard of the Marquis' Mansion, the sun was scorching and the cicadas were chirping. Xin An was lying on the beauty couch for a nap. After sleeping for a while, he opened his eyes again. He was worried and couldn't fall asleep.
On the way back, she counted her menstrual period on her fingers and recalled the recent differences. The more she thought about it, the more she thought it was possible. "If it's true, it would be a great success. God bless you."
After mumbling something, she closed her eyes again and fell asleep unknowingly. She didn't know when she entered the dream again. On the familiar yet unfamiliar lakeside, two people came up on the arch bridge. She couldn't see their faces clearly but they looked familiar. They were holding a naked child and said they were giving the child to her, but she couldn't tell whether it was a boy or a girl.
The dream turned and she was at Huaijiang's home again. Her mother was holding a baby and said she wanted to take a bath. She also said that the baby was sent by an elder in the family. She kept saying that the baby was not washed before it was sent. The baby was covered with chicken manure and her eyes were full of disgust. She smiled and said that if no one wanted it, she would take it home and raise it. Her mother gave it to her. In a blink of an eye, the baby was wearing a red bib. The dream was illusory and real. Xin An opened her eyes and did not move for a long time after waking up. Her mind was not drowsy and was particularly clear. "Chunlu, send someone to invite Aunt Wang to come."
Cuiping has never given birth, so Aunt Wang has more experience.
Cuiping also woke up from a nap and was counting her fingers, mumbling something. She went out to find Chunyang and asked her about Xinan's recent diet. When she learned that Xinan had become greedy and sleepy recently, Cuiping smiled. The young lady's period was three days late, so she might be pregnant.
Seeing her come in happily, Xin An was a little curious. Cuiping went up to her and asked her earnestly if she could not smell any common food recently, if she suddenly wanted to eat something, if she always felt sleepy, etc. She looked at her face carefully and said, "Young Madam has been whiter than usual these past two days, but has more edema, and her aura has also changed. It is very likely that she is pregnant. It is time to ask a trusted doctor to take a look."
"Auntie still understands this?"
Xin An was a little surprised, "I thought my aunt wasn't good at this."
She told Cuiping about her guesses and changes, as well as her messy dreams. Aunt Cuiping became more certain, "It must be 100% certain."
“Young Madam, you don’t know that when the aunts in the palace reach a certain age, they will develop a pair of eyes that are comparable to those of the imperial physician.”
She said that she could tell whether a girl was still a virgin with just one glance, and whether she was already a virgin by taking another look. Many times, the maids could tell even before the person involved knew it.
"Young Madam's complexion has changed. I heard that Doctor Qin has returned. I will ask him to come to the mansion and take Young Madam's pulse. Some doctors may not be able to diagnose her if she is too young."
Cuiping went to make arrangements in a hurry, and seeing her like that, Xin An became inexplicably nervous, his movements unconsciously became lighter, and it felt a little unreal.
Wang was the first to arrive. Cuiping had personally invited her. She was all smiles when she entered the room. Xin An just moved a little and she quickly stepped forward, "Don't move. Wait until Doctor Qin feels your pulse before we can talk about anything."
"Are you feeling uncomfortable? Is there anything you want to eat? On the way here, mother asked Aunt Cuiping. She knows the taboos of pregnant women and what to eat. She will take care of the meals from now on. According to mother, if you can't eat, don't eat, so as not to eat and vomit, which will hurt your body. Just eat what you like."
Wang was talking a lot. God knows how long she had been waiting for this day. Even though she didn't urge him, she was looking forward to it in her heart.
Aunt Wang came in with sweat on her forehead. As soon as she entered the room and learned the inside story, she started chanting "Amitabha". She was looking forward to this even more than Wang. In her opinion, the son-in-law was so good to the young lady, and was respectful to the master and the mistress, and brought so many benefits to the Xin family. What would happen if the young lady could not give birth to a child for the son-in-law?
The spring sun and green are all around me, and I don’t know what to do.
Wang began to discuss with Cuiping whether pregnant women should use ice. As long as it was good for her daughter-in-law and grandchildren, she would arrange it immediately.
Xin An, who had been able to remain calm at first, became restless when she saw that everyone in the room was more excited than her. She wondered how it would end if it was all in vain.
Doctor Qin arrived late. Seeing the women in the room, his heart trembled. His eyes fell on Xin An's face. Seeing her expression, he knew what was going on. "Stretch out your hand so I can see it?"
One person was diagnosing the pulse while five women were surrounding him. Fortunately, Doctor Qin had seen the world and only let go after half an incense stick had passed. He looked at Wang happily and said, "Madam, congratulations."
Wang was immediately delighted, and Doctor Qin said to Xin An: "Don't go everywhere since it's still early in the month, but you don't have to be too careful and not go anywhere. Just do what you need to do as long as you don't feel tired."
"Your body is in good condition to begin with. Don't just lie there and do nothing once you get pregnant. What's yours is yours. You're not that frivolous."
These words really saved Xin An's life. You know, Aunt Wang was about to suggest that she stay in bed.
When Doctor Qin stood up, Aunt Wang, Aunt Cuiping and Wang surrounded him, mainly asking Xin An whether he could do this or that, and whether he needed to take some medicine to preserve the pregnancy.
"She is in good health and doesn't need to take medicine. From now on, she should not take any medicine unless it is absolutely necessary. She should also stop taking any pills to nourish the blood. Just eat well."
"Don't eat too much or too well. If you get pregnant too big, it will be hard to give birth. Don't lie down and move more."
After sending Doctor Qin away, Wang took Xin An aside and talked to her for a long time, telling her to rest more and not to greet him in the morning. She could sleep as long as she wanted. "I will take care of the housekeeping matters. Don't worry, I will not change your arrangements."
"In two days, mother will start looking for a wet nurse. We have to look carefully. She has to be about your age, young and in good health, and clean. All family members have to take a good look at her. It's better to choose one sooner rather than later."

Fortunately, her joyful look was not seen by the old lady, otherwise she would have blamed her.
You have to know that when Tao Yiran was pregnant, as her mother-in-law, she just took a look, gave a few instructions and didn't care much anymore. She just asked the dental clinic to send the wet nurse to Tao Yiran and let Tao Yiran choose it herself. She didn't put much thought into it.
But this can't be blamed on her. How could she not tell the difference between an adopted grandson and a legitimate grandson? "Having my mother in my heart makes me feel extra at ease, but it's a bit uneasy that she has to work hard."
"There's no need for us to be polite. Just ask for whatever you want to eat or drink. If there's nothing in the house, mother can get it for you. There's one more thing mother wants to remind you of."
Wang had been caught in the rain and wanted to hold an umbrella for his wife. She did not allow Tang Mo to take a concubine while Xin An was pregnant. It was not easy for a woman to get pregnant, but it was too heartbreaking for her husband to indulge in pleasure at this time.
"Mother will talk to him personally about this matter. You are not allowed to make any arrangements. You are not allowed to listen to the nonsense of the people below. What's the point of having a reputation of being magnanimous?"
