Chapter 1394: It's Not Easy to Be a Woman

Zhulan walked into Mingyun's yard. The maids and servants in the yard were doing their work in an orderly manner. Zhulan nodded with satisfaction. She didn't need to worry about Li anymore.

Li stood up, "Mom, you are here."

"Well, are Wan'er and the child okay?"

Li nodded, "I just came out of the delivery room, both the adults and the children are fine."

Zhulan sat down and said, "That's good."

Li motioned for her second brother and his wife to sit down as well, and said with a smile, "This is already the second child. Wan'er herself has experience. The baby is in the right position and will probably be born this afternoon."

Zhao continued, "Mingyun already has two children in the blink of an eye."

Li also sighed, thinking of Ming Teng, "After Wan'er's child is born, I can concentrate on preparing for Ming Teng's wedding."

Zhao was jealous, but Mingrui had to wait a few more years before getting married.

Zhulan, "Start a family and build a career. Mingteng will be more stable after getting married."

Zhao smiled and said, "This means that you know you have to raise a family."

At the Liu family, Ma touched the bride's wedding dress, her eyes full of amazement, "It's really beautiful."

Liu Jia moved her fingers. There were many needle holes on her fingertips, all left by sewing her wedding dress. Even after applying medicine, her fingertips still hurt a little, but when she saw her wedding dress, it was all worth it.

It was also the first time that Ning Ting saw a wedding dress. She reached out to touch it and said, "Your hands are so skillful. Your wedding dress is more beautiful than mine."

Liu Jia felt a little embarrassed by the compliment, "How can my sister-in-law say such good things about me?"

Ning Ting said: "I didn't lie to you, your wedding dress is very beautiful."

Liu Jia had never shown it to her sister-in-law because she wanted to do her best before showing it to her. Now that she had received affirmation, Liu Jia's fingertips didn't hurt at all.

Ma felt sorry for her daughter, who cared a lot about her wedding. She didn't want to embarrass Ming Teng, so she was very strict with herself in everything. If the daughter had chosen a family of equal status, she wouldn't have to work so hard.

Ma held her daughter's hand and said, "Mother really can't bear to leave you."

Liu Jia held her mother's hand and said, "Mom, I am also in Beijing. I will come back to see you often in the future."

Ma was a little sad. Once a daughter gets married, she will belong to another family. There is no way she can be as comfortable at her parents' home. Although Li is very easy to get along with, the different branches of the Zhou family live together, and the daughter has an outstanding sister-in-law. The daughter's future will not be easy.

Ma was happy again when she thought that the Zhou family had no concubines. She felt sad and happy at the same time. She just felt tired and exhausted. "I'm tired. You should have a good rest too."

Liu Jia really needed to have a good rest. She had not had a good rest because of the wedding dress. "Yeah."

In the afternoon, before leaving the government office, Mingyun's eldest son was born. The little boy's cry was particularly loud and festive to hear.

Zhulan held the nearly six-pound fat boy in her arms and said, "Look how much he looks like Mingyun."

Li's heart melted, as if she had returned to the time when her eldest son was born. The first time she became a mother, the most profound emotion. She said softly, "They look exactly like each other."

Zhao, "Look at the forehead, it's not small. This child must be as smart as Mingyun."

Li smiled happily, "Yeah."

Su Xuan looked carefully and found that this child only looked like Ran Wan's ears. This child really looked like Ming Yun.

In the delivery room, Ran Wan was in good spirits. She had already cleaned up and still had the strength to sit up. Listening to the noises outside, she felt particularly at ease. It was not that she did not like a daughter, but she needed a son. Now that she had a son, the pressure on her was gone and she did not have to worry about giving birth in the future.

Ran Wan had a smile on her face. Now that she had both a son and a daughter, she could finally live a relaxed life.

Zhou Shuren came back first. Who could make Zhou Shuren arrive at the yamen on time? Some people like Changyi couldn't do that, as they sometimes had to finish their tasks.

Zhou Shuren came over specially to see his eldest grandson, gave him a hug, and then returned to the main courtyard with his wife.

Zhulan, "What are you thinking about? You haven't said anything yet."

"I feel sad that you and I are so young, but we have so many great-grandchildren born one after another."

Zhu Lan whispered, "We can only blame this era."

Zhou Shuren said quietly, "Our family is relatively well off."

"yes."

Zhou Shuren changed the subject, "I need to think carefully about the name of my eldest grandson."

Zhulan is a bad namer. She is most reluctant to give a name. "Then you must think about it carefully."

"Um."

Zhulan suddenly slapped her forehead, "Oops, I said I forgot something. I was so focused on announcing the good news to the Ran family that I forgot to ask someone to tell Mingyun."

"It scared me. I thought it was a big deal. Mingyun came back soon. I just took it as a surprise."

Mingyun was stunned when he got off the carriage, and asked the servant who congratulated him, "Is the baby born?"

The servant was also stunned. No one informed the young master. "Yes, he was born in the afternoon."

Mingyun didn't listen to what the servant said and ran to his own yard. His son was born. He said that he met a magpie when he went out today!

Changzhi came back to his senses and shouted, "Run slower so you don't fall."

Mingyun waved, "Fourth Uncle, I'm leaving first."

Changzhi smiled and shook his head. It was rare to see Mingyun lose his composure. He was happy for Mingyun in his heart. Mingyun's son was born, and Mingyun's pressure would be less. Although Mingyun's family did not urge him to have a son, Mingyun was the eldest grandson, and Mingyun himself was under considerable pressure.

The next morning, everyone could sense Zhou Shuren's good mood. The emperor didn't come, so Qiu Yan asked quietly, "Is there any good news, sir?"

Zhou Shuren nodded, "Yes, we had a great-grandson yesterday."

Qiu Yan's eyes became even more envious when he heard this. The Zhou family's adopted son was really prosperous. "Congratulations, sir, on the birth of your eldest grandson."

Zhou Shuren said cheerfully, "I'll treat everyone to tea at noon."

Qiu Yanle was happy. Lord Zhou was going to bleed heavily today.

The prosperity of offspring represents the prosperity of the family. The fact that the Zhou family has added a grandson so soon represents that the Zhou family is thriving and will continue to prosper in the future unless they do something stupid.

After the morning court session, Wang Ju came over and asked, "I just heard that your eldest grandson was born?"

"Um."

Wang Ju said cheerfully, "Yulu will be giving birth in a few months."

Zhou Shuren glanced sideways, "Whether you have a son or a daughter depends on the man."

Wang Ju knew what Zhou Shuren wanted to say, "We are all happy that Wang Wei has a son or a daughter."

It was an unexpected surprise that Wang Wei had a child right after getting married. No matter whether this baby was a son or a daughter, there would be a son sooner or later. Well, the Wang family was very confident.

Zhou Shuren began to mutter, "Getting married and having children is the hardest thing for women. It is said that when a woman gets married, she is reborn. Not only does she have to respect her elders, but she also has to take care of her husband and manage her own small family. It is even harder when she has children. It is not easy for women!"

Wang Ju's eyes were filled with confusion. "I have heard these words from you over the years."

He is one of them. He has always been content to enjoy his wife's efforts. This has been the way his ancestors have lived for generations.

On the other hand, Zhou Shuren has always put himself in his wife's shoes and considered things for her. Few people can do that.
