Chapter 271 Pregnancy
Zhulan had nothing to hide and nodded, "Yes, I like to eat it, but unfortunately there are not many gooses raised in the north. I have only eaten it in restaurants and have never met farmers selling geese in the market."
Fang smiled and said, "There are many people who raise geese in Qianjia Village. In the past, when the Yun family was still in Pingzhou, the geese that the Yun family ate were all raised in Qianjia Village. Later, when the Yun family left, the geese were sold to restaurants. If my mother-in-law likes them, I will bring a few back for you. Big geese are not only delicious, but also good for guarding the house. Geese are amazing."
Zhulan said, "Then I won't be polite. Thank you, mother-in-law."
"It's no big deal, why be polite?"
After dinner, Fang went out for a while and waited for Zhulan and Zhou Shuren to return to the city. The box was filled with three live geese and a large amount of roe deer meat.
Fang also prepared a lot of things for Zhou Lao Er, including food and useful things. The second wife now had in-laws, and they were rich ones at that. The Qian family brought a lot of things to the second wife every time they came to visit. This time they brought a lot more. The second wife was no longer the one who was financially strapped for cash.
After returning home, Zhulan was curious about the box Zhou Shuren was holding. When he returned to the house, he asked, "What reward? Qian Shengbao was very distressed."
When seeing him off, Qian Shengbao's smile was so stiff!
Zhou Shuren opened the box. "It's Mr. Nishiyoko's original calligraphy. Even though it's only incomplete, it's still authentic."
Zhulan, "Hurry up and ask Changzhi to come and take a look. He has seen the real calligraphy."
"Tell him to be calm later. I didn't expect Qian Shengbao to have so many calligraphy and paintings. It's a pity that he only let me see Mr. Xiheng's."
Zhulan rolled her eyes inwardly, "If I let you look at other calligraphy and paintings, you can tell whether it's real or fake?"
"Don't expose my secrets. Calligraphy and painting are indeed not my strong points. Although I have made up for it a lot since I traveled to the fictional dynasty, it is useless. It is still my weakness."
It makes me sigh to talk about this. As for other antiques, porcelain, etc., he had the knowledge and supplemented the information after traveling through time, so there was no problem in identifying them. But when it came to calligraphy and painting, he really had no talent.
Zhulan turned around and went to the front yard to find Changzhi. As soon as Zhulan finished speaking, Changzhi ran away without any intention of waiting for Zhulan.
Zhulan returned to the house, and Changzhi said excitedly: "Dad, Dad, it is indeed true, haha, it turns out that the second half is here."
Zhou Shuren was also amused. There was still such a chance. "Are you really looking at the upper half of the calligraphy?"
Chang Zhi nodded, "Yes, what's in Brother Chang An's hand is the upper part, Dad, it's complete now, Dad, let's switch the one in Brother Chang An's hand!"
Zhulan, "......."
He is indeed not stupid. He knows that the exchange is not given to Chang'an for nothing.
Zhou Shuren knocked on his son's head and said, "Wake up, you can exchange it just like that. This is an authentic work. We don't have anything to exchange it for even if we want to."
Changzhi groaned. Although he didn't care about money, he cared about books. If it were him, he wouldn't change it either. The complete post has a different meaning. "Dad, what should I do?"
Zhou Shuren waved his hands, "You ask me, who should I ask?"
"Aren't you my father? I can only ask you this!"
Zhou Shuren, "........"
He once again determined to leave Chang Zhi to Chang Lian in the future. This kid was really annoying sometimes and so stubborn. Well, now he is thinking about him. Forget it. I won't be at peace in the future.
Zhou Shuren waved his hand, "Don't you want to see the calligraphy? Hurry up, oh, no, the provincial examination will be held in a few days, wait until you finish the exam and look at it and give it to me."
Changzhi held it carefully, "Dad, I'll go back and take a look first, and I'll give it to you tomorrow."
Having said that, he didn't bother to complete the post anymore and just ran away.
Zhulan burst out laughing. Zhou Shuren was afraid that Changzhi would continue nagging!
Zhou Shuren snorted, "You're still laughing. I told you to wait, but you turned around and went to look for that guy."
"You can't blame me for this. Who could have thought it would be such a coincidence?"
"I can see that your heart is increasingly filled with these cheap sons. I'm sad. If you can massage them for me, maybe I'll feel better."
Zhulan rolled her eyes inwardly and stretched out her hand, "Okay, I'll rub it for you."
Zhou Shuren felt a chill on his back. "No need to worry. I'm fine now. I'm fine now."
Zhulan blinked and thought to herself what a pity.
Time passed quickly, and it was April in a blink of an eye. Xuemei's family and the clansmen who were taking the provincial examination came to Pingzhou together.
Zhulan hadn't seen Xuemei for a long time and missed her. "Let me take a good look at her. Yes, you've gained weight."
Xuemei blushed, "Mom, I'm not fat."
Zhulan looked carefully and saw that he had indeed gained weight, especially his waist. She had just touched it and it was plump and rounder. "Not fat?"
Zhao's first reaction was, "How many months?"
Xuemei smiled and said, "It's been almost four months. We found out the year my mother passed away."
Zhulan was really inexperienced. The original body had experience, but it wasn't hers, and she had never been pregnant before. She really didn't react and said worriedly, "You're pregnant, why did you come here in a carriage?"
It will take a whole day to travel, and the road may be bumpy and bumpy. What if I have a miscarriage? The thought of it makes me scared.
Xuemei smiled and said, "Mom, if I hadn't been pregnant for three months, I think Jiang Sheng wouldn't have let me. Now it's four months, and I've even asked the doctor, and the baby looks very stable, so just be careful and everything will be fine."
Li suddenly realized, "I thought so. The weather in April is much warmer. How come there are more quilts than when we came to Pingzhou? It turns out that they are worried that my elder sister will get bumpy. My brother-in-law is really considerate."
Li was very envious. The second son loved his wife, Chang Lian was also nice to Dong, and Chang Zhi was not counted. Now even Jiang Sheng was so considerate. Well, why was it that only the head of the family bullied her? He even said that bullying was liking. What a bullshit! She didn't hit him too lightly last time!
Li couldn't help but touch her belly. She had been trying for a long time, so why couldn't she get pregnant?
Zhulan calculated that the baby in Xuemei's belly was her first new life since she traveled through time. Mingrui was not counted. When she traveled through time, Mingrui was already six or seven months old in Zhao's belly.
Zhulan asked concernedly, "Are you vomiting? Is there anything you can't eat? Tell me what you want to eat."
Xuemei shook her head, "Mom, I won't vomit. I'm blessed with this baby. She hasn't bothered me at all. She just has a good appetite and wants to eat everything."
Zhulan smiled and said, "As long as it's edible."
With Xuemei's family coming, there are two more children in the house, and the yard becomes more lively. With more children in the house, there is laughter every day.
The next day was the provincial examination. It was Dong's first time to accompany someone to take the exam. This was different from before she got married. Now that she was married, Zhulan didn't bother her. Dong was not afraid of the hard work at all. She sent Changlian to the exam in the morning and picked him up in the evening.
Two horse-drawn carriages were chartered for the provincial examination. Well, Mrs. Dong did not forget Changzhi and her relatives.
Chang Lian is beautiful. There is a difference between having a wife and not having a wife.
The provincial examination was over. This time, Mrs. Dong did not go with him to see the results. She was afraid that her husband would not do well. It would be awkward for her to go with him. It would be better for her to wait at home. "Mother, my husband has worked so hard, he will definitely get a good score."
Zhulan, "......."
Since Changlian left, Dong has been repeating this sentence. She knew that Dong hoped she would agree with this sentence, so she did reply, but she couldn't help but keep repeating it.
Li was impatient to begin with, and was annoyed by what she heard, "Sister-in-law."
Zhu Lan interrupted, "Ms. Dong, Chang Lian should be back. Go check ahead."
Dong stood up quickly when she heard this, "Mom, I'm going to the front."
When Zhulan saw Dong leaving, she glared at Li. She was so upset. If she hadn't interrupted her just now, Li would not have known how she had offended Dong!
