Chapter 618 Extra 12
"It's quite trance."
Xin An shook her head and simply ignored it. She had a mother-in-law above her, so it was not her turn to manage.
The comfortable and carefree days passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye it was Xin An's due date. Tang Mo missed the birth of the two brothers, and he had always felt regretful. He rushed back as soon as he got the news that the baby was pregnant. While waiting for the cervix to dilate, he helped Xin An walk back and forth. When the cervix opened, he personally sent her to the delivery room, and waited outside the house after she came out.
Although it was not her first birth and it was a single baby, Xin An suffered no less. There was only one baby in her belly, and the nutrition was for one person. She had grown more than seven pounds. The pain made Xin An scream at the top of her lungs. Tang Mo was anxious outside. For this kind of suffering, he deserved to be beaten a few more times on a normal day.
Tang Gang, who was sitting on the other side of the wall, trembled in his heart after hearing this, and had someone push him to Qiushi Courtyard to avoid the anxiety.
The two baby-sitting brothers who were coaxed away by their wet nurse ran back halfway. They heard their mother screaming in pain in the house. One of them hugged Tang Mo's leg with tears in his eyes. Chunlang and Nuer held each other's hands tightly with red eyes and were very nervous. The third wife of the Xin family was here on behalf of the two families, and she was also worried.
After a burst of high-pitched and shrill screams, Tang Mo broke free from the two children and was about to run inside. As soon as he reached the door, he heard the crying of a baby inside and outside the house. Chunyang opened the door and came out, saying that the baby was born, then closed the door again.
Everyone in the yard breathed a sigh of relief, smiles gradually creeping up their cheeks and into their eyes.
Soon the midwife took the baby out, congratulated everyone and then said the main point, "Madam has safely given birth to a little girl, weighing seven and a half pounds, and both mother and daughter are safe."
In this world, a baby weighing 7.5 jin is considered very big. Wang smiled and stepped forward to take the swaddling clothes. Everyone gathered around to look. No one pushed Tang Gang away, so he could only speak up himself, "Hold it here for me to see."
Wang smiled and held him close to her, "How beautiful."
Tang Gang glanced at Wang and asked the wet nurse to bring the child into the house. The babysitter was very anxious, "Grandma, I haven't seen it yet. I haven't seen my sister."
"Your sister is still young and can't be exposed to the wind. Come to the house and check on her later."
Wang cheerfully reminded Tang Mo to reward the servants. This was his daughter-in-law, and all the servants in the mansion were looking forward to it. But Tang Gang got there first and said, "Reward three months' salary, and Qiushiyuan will get an extra month."
Tang Mo is now a father of two children, so he doesn't care about these little things. He just waits for the delivery room to be cleaned up before walking in, his face full of joy.
The news that the Marquis's Mansion had a new girl spread quickly among all the families in the court. Wang was already an experienced person in this matter and was busy every day.
The little girl was named Zhen Zhen after Xin An's name, which means "a peach tree is lush and tender, and its leaves are lush and green." She was a blessed girl. She was born healthy and well behaved, and rarely cried or made a fuss. She ate and slept every day. When she woke up, she would look around with empty eyes for a while and then continue to sleep, as long as the days went by.
Mrs. Liao brought Liao Xiaolang here. They came at the right time. Xiao Zhenzhen had just changed into a clean diaper and had eaten a full meal. She opened her eyes and tried to look. Mrs. Liao hugged her and said to Xin An, "Last time, this kid said he came to see his sister, but he ended up seeing his two younger brothers. Now he finally got his wish. Today he brought a gift for his sister."
Liao Xiaolang brought a peach blossom, or rather a peach blossom pendant inlaid with pink jade, which was quite pretty. He took the jade pendant to Xin An and said, "Auntie An, this is something I made myself. Can I give it to my sister?"
"You made it yourself?"
Xin An took a closer look and said, "This is actually a piece of jade?"
Madam Liao nodded. "I heard that my sister's name is Zhen Zhen, and her name is Ye Zhen Zhen. She said she wanted to make a peach blossom jade pendant. She even broke a piece of jade to make five peach petals. How do you think? That's very thoughtful, isn't it?"
"It's thoughtful. Very thoughtful."
Xin An smiled happily, "Then you can put it on your sister."
Liao Xiaolang took the jade pendant and put it around Xiao Zhenzhen's neck, saying that it looked very beautiful and was a good match.
Chunyang brought tea, and Liao Xiaolang said, "Aunt Chunyang, my mother has a younger sister now, so she can't drink tea."
"Pregnant again?"
Xin An took a fancy to Mrs. Liao's belly. Mrs. Liao smiled and said, "Xiao Lang is lonely alone, so I want to give him a brother or sister."
“It’s a good thing.”
Liao Zhi stayed in the capital, and the Liao family had a much smoother life in the past two years. It should be said that Liao Zhi had completely taken control of the Liao family, and no one could make trouble in front of him anymore. The family was also divided, and now only their family was left in the mansion, and life had become better.
When Tang Mo came back at night, she found a peach blossom jade pendant hanging around her daughter's neck. "Where did you get it from?"
"Sister Xu is here today. This pendant was made by Xiaolang himself. It looks pretty good."
Tang Mo raised his voice, "That bastard from the Liao family?"
"Keep your voice down. Giving a small jade pendant doesn't mean anything. Why are you so excited?"
Xin An likes Liao Xiaolang, but she didn't say that she was going to marry him. When she said that before, it was just a joke. The future son-in-law has to be chosen by her own daughter.
Tang Mo took off the jade pendant and said, "The child is too young to be suitable for these."
Xin An smiled without saying anything. In a blink of an eye, it was time for her to leave confinement. The Marquis' Mansion held a full-moon banquet, which was very lively. Ruwa and Baowa showed off everywhere that they had a younger sister. They went out and boasted that their sister was the prettiest. They even wanted to secretly take their sister out to show off, and they almost got spanked by Tang Mo.
"Sister-in-law."
Tang Quan'er also came, with fatigue on her face. She was divorced, and her family had already met Jiao Wei, and they were all very satisfied. She was at a loss, not knowing how she had come to this day.
"Sit down now."
Xin An knew that she was feeling upset, but today was not a good time to comfort her. He looked up and saw Zhou Min had also arrived.
Zhou Min is now married and looks very happy. Her face is relaxed and you can tell that she is having a good time after marriage. "Cousin, I gave Zhenzhen a pair of rattles. See if they are okay?"
The drum surface is painted with delicate lotus flowers, and pearls replace wooden beads. It is obvious that this is a rattle for little girls. "It is really exquisite."
"Our Zhenzhen is a blessed child, so even the small toys she plays with must be exquisite."
Zhou Min sat aside with a smile, "This drumhead was painted by my husband himself, you can't find it outside."
Xin An joked, "Why, you're here to show off instead of congratulating me today?"
"No, my cousin was just teasing me."
Zhou Min is smart. In the past two years, with the guidance of the old lady, she has learned most of Xin An's skills. Many times, Xin An's shadow can be seen in her words and deeds, but she doesn't mind at all. She just thinks it is particularly useful. In her mother's words, she is able to make a living.
Tang Quan'er was a little stunned. She remembered that when Zhou Min first arrived at the Marquis' Mansion, she didn't dare to speak loudly. Is she so generous now?
Zhou Min looked at Tang Quan'er, "Sister Quan'er, you should be happier. The sun will shine brightly after the clouds clear. You are such a gentle and kind person, you deserve a better man."
