Chapter 448: The Birth is Coming

After Zhulan received everyone, they all sat down. This year, she met all the female relatives. Zhulan smiled and said, "I don't know what you all like, so I prepared some for you. Sorry for the trouble."

Tao looked at the table in front of her, which was well prepared. "Mrs. Yang doesn't look like she was born a military commander."

Zhulan knew that what Tao wanted to say was that they were born into a farming family, but it was a pity that the Yang family became military generals. However, military generals were also vulgar in the eyes of some people. "I didn't understand it before, but my greatest advantage is that I love to learn."

Tao realized that Yang was difficult to deal with. Yang's straightforwardness and lack of pretense made people feel good about her. Tao pursed her lips, knowing in her heart that she could not watch the show today, and she did not need to let the concubine bully others anymore.

The banquet ended very quickly. These people felt that there was nothing more to watch, so after sitting for a while, some people suggested leaving first, and many people left one after another.

The wives of officials who left all came from powerful families.

Zhulan did not gain nothing. Although everyone left, one could tell from their attitude and reasons when they left that some of them were not willing to do so.

Zhulan has a good memory and recorded everything basically without any errors.

She can't find out anything in one go, she needs to participate a few more times. I didn't see her performance today, and she didn't talk to many people, so the useful information she got was still too little.

It is probably because they see that Zhulan is not rude. No one is inviting Zhulan at the moment. Zhulan touches her belly regretfully. She won’t be able to go even if they want to invite her for a while.

Fortunately, Zhou Shuren didn't want Zhulan to be tired, so he didn't want to play slowly. He slowly conquered her, fought back a few times, and then prepared to rush one by one.

In the blink of an eye, it was the day for Dong and Chang Lian to consummate their marriage, and the courtyard of the third house was newly decorated.

The family had dinner together in the evening. Chang Lian and Dong were very embarrassed. After a good-natured laugh, they left with red faces.

The next morning, when having breakfast, Zhulan looked at Dong and could tell at a glance that Dong had changed. Dong didn't dare to look Chang Lian in the eye and kept her head down while eating.

Zhulan sighed, youth is so good.

Dong's mouth was full of sweet smiles, and Li laughed, "Mom, my third brother's wife is laughing silly."

Dong, "......."

Zhulan, "......."

Li hurriedly explained, "Third sister-in-law, I don't mean anything else, I just am."

Well, there is no need to say anything to Li. Dong stood up and walked out with a blushing face. This was embarrassing.

Zhao smiled and said, "Third brother and his wife have a really good relationship."

She's been there, she understands.

Li fell into memories. It seemed that her marriage with the head of the family had never been sweet. At that time, the head of the family even complained that she was fat!

Li's face turned pale and she gritted her teeth as she went back to settle accounts with the head of the family.

Zhao looked at her sister-in-law and didn't understand why she was angry. Did she offend her sister-in-law?

Zhulan understood Li. She didn't know what Li was thinking about. She was a little tired. "You all should go back too."

In Zhoujia Village, Xuemei took a long time to come back to her senses after reading the letter from her mother's family. She called out to her daughter, "Daughter, stay home and look after your brothers. Mother is going to the clan school to look for your father."

Jiang Miao asked worriedly, "Mom, what did grandma write in the letter?"

Xuemei said happily, "Good news, very good news, your grandfather has been promoted to prefect."

She really didn't expect that one day she would become the daughter of a prefect.

Having said that, Xuemei took the letter and went out.

At the same time, the family of Clan Leader Zhou also received Zhulan's letter. Clan Leader Zhou fainted without even taking a breath, which frightened Zhou Wangshi. They called an old doctor in the village, and only then did the Clan Leader come to his senses.

Zhou Wangshi, "You really scared me to death. If anything happens to you, I'll see what I will do."

Chief Zhou didn't have much strength in his hands. "I've been in poor health for the past few years. I'm getting old."

Daxi couldn't bear it, but fortunately he didn't pass away. Fortunately, he still wanted to live a few more years to see his grandson and borrow his light.

Chief Zhou smiled and said, "What a great joyous event."

Zhou Wangshi already knew what was written in the letter from her grandson. It was indeed a great joy. She sighed in her heart, "It's only been a few years. It's like a dream."

Patriarch Zhou looked at his grandson, Ming and Qing, who was preparing to take the provincial examination. The current grandson was far behind. He coughed and said, "Your uncle has become the prefect. Please congratulate him on my behalf."

He did not ask Zhou Shuren to stay in Ming and Qing dynasties, he just asked for some guidance.

Ming Qing responded excitedly, "Yes."

Zhou Wangshi also smiled, "Look how excited you are."

Ming Qing smiled foolishly. He really admired his uncle and especially regretted not asking his uncle for advice before. This opportunity was so rare.

At Xuemei's house, Jiang Sheng came back and kept turning around, "Wife, let's go and congratulate father-in-law. We're counting the days. When we get there, mother will be giving birth."

Xuemei, "I've been thinking about it all the time. It was too far away before, so I couldn't worry about it. Now it's much closer, and I can't rest assured unless I see it with my own eyes."

Jiang Sheng said, "The clan leader will definitely send someone as well. It's a good opportunity for us to go together so we can have someone to accompany us on the journey."

Jiang Miao couldn't help but interrupt, "Mom, what about us?"

She didn't want to go back to her grandmother's house. Her grandmother was scary to her. It wasn't that she was bad, but that she was too good. She also didn't like her cousins. When she was young and ignorant, they cheated her out of her jewelry. Now she didn't fall for it, and they said she was stingy.

All her jewellery was given to her by her grandmother, they are a complete set, and she hasn’t cried yet!

Xuemei looked at her daughter and her son. Her parents must miss their children too. Amid the children's worried gazes, she said, "We will all go as a family."

In Jiang Du's heart, his grandfather was the most amazing. All his classmates in the clan school admired him very much. Now that he could see his grandfather, Jiang Du ran out quickly.

Xuemei was stunned. "What has he been doing?"

Jiang Sheng understood his son. His son kept asking about his father-in-law. Jiang Sheng smiled and said, "He is looking for the best calligraphy to show his father-in-law."

Xuemei smiled and said, "This kid is too impatient. We haven't left yet."

In Jinzhou City, the Zhou family is in a bad mood. This pregnancy of Zhao's is full of disasters and difficulties. Today, the embroidered screen hit her waist and she had a miscarriage again.

The doctor prescribed medicine to preserve the pregnancy and said, "The pregnant woman's condition is not very good. The baby may be born prematurely at any time. Midwives, please prepare it first."

Zhulan counted the days. Zhao was born more than half a month earlier than her. She was almost eight months old and Zhao was more than eight months old. Zhao was first left alone and then had to travel a lot. Now she was hit. She was really afraid that something would happen to the child and Zhao.

When Zhulan went to sleep at night, she had a dream, but her identity had changed. It was now her that she was going to give birth prematurely at any time, but she couldn't give birth no matter what. Finally, everything went black before her eyes and she knew nothing.

Zhulan woke up in the middle of the night, and Zhou Shuren woke up in shock, "What happened?"

Zhu Lan paused for a long time, "It's nothing, I just had a nightmare."

Zhou Shuren breathed a sigh of relief, as if nothing had happened. Not only Zhulan had nightmares these days, but he also had nightmares. He silently calculated the days, and fortunately, after a few days, the child was born.

Zhulan had just laid down after a while when Mrs. Song said outside the door, "Madam, the second wife is about to give birth."

Zhulan, "......."

Nearly 40,000 words. I’m so tired. I’ll go to bed tonight and correct the typos tomorrow. . . .
