Chapter 361: Civil and Military Wealth

"This is something that many young women would beg for. Madam, look at me, I just gave birth to two daughters. I am not afraid of anything else. I just hope that the two sisters can meet a kind family and live a peaceful life."

Hearing this, Madam Gu patted Madam Du on the back of her hand and said.

"Don't worry, mother-in-law. Jingyi is my daughter-in-law. I dare not say anything else, but I will never let her suffer any grievances. She is pregnant now and needs to take care of the baby. After the baby is born, she needs to take good care of herself and take good care of her body. In the future, the burden of this family will still be placed on her and Shaoyu."

Mrs. Du naturally knew that Mrs. Gu was not lying to her, so she also spoke with deep emotion.

"We are assured, rest assured."

It was bustling outside, but it was quiet inside Qiwu Courtyard.

After Du Jingyi recovered, Dr. Xia went back again. When she left, she took Du Jingyi's "Daxing Regional Chronicle" with her, saying that she wanted to get more familiar with it. If she had the chance in the future, she would also travel around the mountains and rivers.

Hearing this, Du Jingyi remembered some things, but it was still early, so she didn't say much. After Dr. Xia left, she asked Lizhu to pick a girl who was not talkative and had good skills to train first. In case Dr. Xia really had to travel in the future, it would be good for her to have someone to protect her. It would be a way for her to repay Dr. Xia for saving her life one after another.

Seeing this, Li Zhu had a candidate in mind, so she didn't let Du Jingyi worry about it anymore.

The time spent playing games passed quickly. After dinner was over and the children were sent away one by one, the whole house became much quieter.

Only then did Du Jingyi leave Qiwuyuan and have a reunion meal with everyone.

The last time Madam Xing and Xing Zhao saw her was on the day of Gu Xiaochun and Su Erlang’s wedding. She was already very old at that time. When they saw her again now, they were both filled with emotion.

"After all, they are three children, so they are unusually large. I pity you for the hardship of pregnancy."

Mrs. Xing was a woman who had given birth to two children, so she naturally knew the pain. Now her pregnancy had tripled. Not to mention anything else, even if she stood up and took a few steps, she would probably feel uncomfortable because of the heaviness of her belly.

Du Jingyi saw the heartache she showed. She and Madam Xing were already good friends, so she comforted her.

"Don't be sad, Auntie. I will give birth in two more months. The children are all fine now, and that's the most important thing."

"That's right, we should be happy about the addition of a new baby."

After saying that, he turned to Madam Gu and the others.

"Aunt, have you found a wet nurse, a midwife, or anything like that? Is there anything I can do to help?"

"Don't worry, we have already prepared everything. We will send everyone to the yard in early May to wait, just in case."

By May, Du Jingyi was seven months pregnant. Although she might not give birth, it would be safer if she prepared early.

Therefore, Madam Gu had made arrangements in advance. She prepared six wet nurses and found four midwives. They were all carefully selected, so there would naturally be no mistakes.

After hearing her arrangements, Mrs. Xing didn't say anything more. She just smiled and said that when the time comes, she must be invited to come over so that she can witness the excitement of the birth of the third baby.

Tai Ge'er on the side was tired from playing today, so he looked a little drowsy after eating. However, the ceremony of grabbing the week-old baby had not been held yet, so everyone hurried to get it done quickly.

The floor was covered with red brocade silk, which contained many things. Fourth Aunt put Tai Ge'er in front of the red silk and said with a smile.

"Come on, Taige, go get the things. Take whatever you like, okay?"

Tai Ge'er had a grumbling face, and it was obvious that he had no interest in these things. Instead, he stumbled towards Du Jingyi, holding on to something, and lay on Du Jingyi's legs, looking like he was so sleepy.

Seeing this, Du Jingyi patted him on the back gently and said.

"Our brother Tai is tired, right? After you get the things, let's go back and rest, okay?"

Tai Ge'er probably understood, so he turned around to look at the things on the ground. I don't know if he did it on purpose or just wanted to get rid of everyone, but he only picked the two closest to him and sat on the ground, yawning.

"Holding the bow and arrow in his left hand and the abacus in his right hand, this kid is really good at it. He has learned all the skills of his cousin Shao Yu and his wife!"

Xing Zhao said this jokingly, and everyone was obviously very satisfied with the result.

When wet nurse Fu saw that Tai Ge'er was really sleepy, she picked him up in her arms and took him downstairs. But when she stood him up, a brush fell from his arms, which made Fourth Aunt so happy that she immediately said:

"That's why we say Tai Ge'er is so lovable! He will be good at both literature and martial arts and make money in the future. Just thinking about it makes me feel that he is really capable!"

Her flattery caused several aunts who already loved Tai Ge'er to start chattering as well, and they poured out a lot of auspicious words.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

The night is high and another day has passed.

Gu Shaoyu, who has now rushed to Cezhou, also drank a few glasses of wine under the moon, as if to celebrate his son's first birthday from afar.

Thinking about how his child has grown from the size of a palm to where he is now, he, as a father, is filled with emotion.

But due to military duties, I couldn't be with them, so I felt a little guilty.

Fortunately, he has already found a gift for the first birthday. When the time comes, he will bring it back to show Tai Ge'er. He will definitely like it! As he was thinking, he saw Shao Shengming, the governor of Cezhou, walking in from outside. With a respectful attitude on his face, he bowed and said when he saw Gu Shaoyu.

"I greet the general."

"When will the envoy from the Great Jin arrive?"

"General, the news just delivered says that it will arrive the day after tomorrow morning."

Hearing this, Gu Shaoyu's eyes were filled with dissatisfaction. He had traveled thousands of miles to get here, but the Great Jin was only a few hundred miles away, yet they were dragging their feet.

Even if the two sides have signed the "Ce Yan Alliance", it still states that Daxing is the leader and Dajin is the subordinate. They have to wait a lot to send tribute, and it seems that Dajin is not very willing.

Although Gu Shaoyu had left Cezhou for more than a year, the forces he arranged here were still operating as usual. Especially since Liu Xun came here half a year in advance, he knew almost everything he should and shouldn't know about the news about the Great Jin.

So, his eyes showed some sharpness, and then he spoke to Shao Shengming.
