Remembering the letter from the second wife a few days ago, Xu Wen hurriedly arranged for the fourth daughter of the Qin family to marry Sheng Wei. This was equivalent to sending two of the three children of the second wife to the capital. If Yun'er also married in the capital, she could keep Hong'er company.
After thinking for a while, Xu Wen replied: "Well, I'll think about it and ask the eldest wife's opinion."
After hearing this, Madam Meng nodded with satisfaction and said, "Thank you for your trouble."
Afterwards, the two talked about the reopening of Sheng's family school at the end of the month. This time, Meng Hui would come to the school to attend classes, and Sheng Hong would also be there.
After seeing Madam Meng off, Fang Mama came in with the news. Xu Wen, hearing what Fang Mama had said, guessed that the Crown Princess was being chosen. But she also felt that this was happening too quickly, and she couldn't help but feel a little anxious. She wanted to send a letter to the palace to enter tomorrow, but then she thought about the plum blossom viewing banquet tomorrow and might be very busy, so she gave up the idea.
The Marquis of Xiangyang's wife had been retching the entire way home, and upon returning home, she felt completely groggy. The court physician was already waiting. After taking her pulse, he stroked his beard and pondered for a moment before speaking, "I think it's a pregnancy pulse, but it's been intermittent for less than a month. How about asking the imperial physician to come in and take a look?"
The thought in her mind had now become a reality, and the Lady of Xiangyang Marquis suddenly felt that she no longer had the urge to vomit. She raised her head and asked anxiously, "How sure are you?"
The court doctor thought for a moment and replied, "About 70% certainty. In another seven to ten days, it will be 100% certainty."
Upon hearing this, the wife of the Marquis of Xiangyang nodded and said, "Then let's come back for another consultation in ten days. There's no rush."
Hearing this, the court doctor breathed a sigh of relief. After a moment's thought, he said, "Madam's retching symptoms might be better with some acidic substances."
The nanny standing beside her asked, "Sour fruit? How about sour plums?"
The court doctor nodded and said, "It's all right. If it still doesn't stop, I'll prescribe some herbal medicine for Madam Hou."
After sending the court doctor away, the wife of the Marquis of Xiangyang said to the nanny, "Don't make this public yet. It won't be too late to tell us until we have a confirmed diagnosis in ten days. I'm old now, and I haven't left the courtyard for the past two months."
Eating sour plums did stop the retching, and then he asked the nanny to go to the Duke of Qi's mansion to report the news.
Xin Jie'er's prescription is more effective than the previous imperial physician's prescription. For the past ten years, I had given up hope, but now there is good news. Regardless of whether the baby is a boy or a girl, Xin Jie'er will have another family.
During dinner, the wife of the Marquis of Xiangyang also learned about the plum blossom viewing banquet the following day. This matter had nothing to do with their family. Even if Xin Jie'er hadn't married, she had no intention of letting her daughter go to the palace. Just look at Empress Jing'an. The royal family is ruthless. Even if the marriage between the two families can't make it, they can still divorce. But once she enters the palace, there is no way out.
The maidservant who had gone to the Duke of Qi's mansion to report the news returned with a large bag of things. Among them was a kind of dried apricots, which were said to be even better at stopping vomiting than sour plums. It was said that these dried apricots were a product of Taolin County, which is located on the banks of the Yellow River. Legend has it that Yang Yuhuan's beauty and beauty were due to her consumption of apricots, and this apricot is also known as the Imperial Concubine Apricot.
The maidservant's introduction amused the Marquis of Xiangyang, who burst into laughter. Before bed, with nothing better to do, she dug out an old Tang book and found that Yang Yuhuan's grandfather and father were indeed from Taolin County. She couldn't help but shake her head and smile. If these apricots could truly be eaten to reveal their exquisite beauty, then each dried apricot would be worth a fortune.
