Chapter 464: Maybe She's a Concubine

Zhulan saw Xuemei's eyes were full of smiles, and she knew that she was going to talk about something happy. "What is it?"

Xuemei said with a cheerful tone, "Yesterday afternoon, I had lunch with Dong. Mom, the food was very spicy. The whole table was full of Sichuan cuisine, but I barely ate a bite and Dong thought it wasn't spicy enough!"

Zhulan understood that some pregnant women like to eat sour food, while others like spicy food. "Do you think Dong is pregnant?"

Xuemei nodded, "That should be it. When I was pregnant with Jiang Miao, I could eat spicy food. It's the same as before."

Xuemei was really happy. If her mother had not said to consummate the marriage late, she would have been dissatisfied. Her third brother was already nineteen years old and should have become a father at this age.

Zhulan counted the days, her mouth twitching. Should she say Changlian and Dong were diligent? They were indeed fast enough. Zhulan thought of Changlian's oath and narrowed her eyes, "She should be a lady."

Xuemei was stunned for a moment. She did favor boys over girls, but she thought it was better to have a son first, at least he could support his sister. She remembered that her elder brother and second brother had supported her a lot in the past, and some bad boys didn't dare to bully her. However, looking at the way Dong ate spicy food, she was really like her.

Xuemei: "I think so. Sometimes it's not accurate."

My second sister-in-law from my husband's family was pregnant and could eat spicy food, but it was a boy!

Zhulan, "Tell Xuehan later to ask the doctor to come over and take a look."

She didn't think that Mrs. Dong didn't know. Mrs. Dong had no experience, but the maid around her had experience. Zhulan estimated that the month was too early and she was not sure, so she didn't call a doctor.

Xuemei responded, and then said, "Mom, you are about to leave your confinement period. We have been here for almost a month. We will return when you leave."

My husband has made a lot of progress this month, which is enough. They should not stay here any longer, as there is still land waiting for them in their hometown.

Zhulan was really reluctant to leave. Xuehan was busy with Wu Ning, Li was entangled with Minghui, Zhao had a maid who she was always watching over, and Dong was busy with her own family. During this month, Xuemei was basically the only one who accompanied her during the day.

As for the granddaughters, they are all learning to behave themselves. Zhulan plans to find a guru to teach Yushuang and Yulu music, chess, calligraphy and painting after they finish their confinement.

To be honest, no one in the Zhou family, from Zhou Shuren to Mingrui, is idle.

Xuemei saw that her mother didn't say anything, and knew that her mother couldn't bear to leave her, so she smiled and said, "This time it's closer, I'll come in winter."

It's a good opportunity for the daughter to learn more. Her husband has no ambition, but his son does. The daughter has a grandfather and a reliable brother, so she can still marry well. There's no harm in learning more.

As for the twins, Xuemei sighed in her heart. The twins looked too similar. This was not good. It was not good for the twins' future. It would be much better if they didn't look alike.

So the husband's whole mind was on his eldest son Jiang Du.

Zhulan smiled and said, "It's settled then."

Zhulan waited for Xuemei to go out, and asked Mrs. Song to bring paper and pen, and quickly wrote down the things to prepare for the lady. Being close to Pinggang does have its advantages, as there is no shortage of people who like it.

An hour later, Mrs. Dong came in person. She blushed and said, "Mother."

Zhulan smiled, "How long?"

Dong lowered her head, "Almost two months."

Dong had never felt so at ease in her heart. She couldn't help but smile. Before the marriage was consummated, she thought about having a child. After the marriage was consummated, she was afraid that she would not be able to get pregnant. She kept scaring herself about what she would do if she couldn't get pregnant in a few years. Fortunately, she was unlucky.

Zhulan looked at Dong's joyful expression and kept silent. Well, this age was very normal in ancient times, so she must keep Xuehan for a few more years. "Tell the kitchen what you want to eat. You are pregnant, and the monthly food expenses of your third room will be doubled."

Mrs. Dong smiled sweetly, "Thank you, mother."

Zhulan smiled and said, "You are the only one who will enjoy this treatment this year. In the future, all pregnant women in your family will enjoy this treatment."

Zhulan's mouth twitched as she finished speaking. The eldest couple didn't plan to have children anymore. Zhao was injured, and it seemed that Dong would be the main force in the future!

In the evening, Chang Lian knew that he was going to be a father. He was very excited. He was nineteen years old and most of his peers were fathers. Now he was going to be a father too.

When Zhulan heard Chang Lian say that my son is very capable, she was speechless. She said, "Let's talk about it after the baby is born. What if it's a concubine?"

The full-month banquet was held the next day. Zhulan was fumigated and washed. The fumigation medicine was prescribed by Mrs. Song. Zhulan felt that Chinese medicine was really great. Zhulan's belly had shrunk a lot, but she was still fat, with a lot of fat in her belly. No, it should be said that there was still a lot of fat on her body. In order to ensure her son had milk, her diet had been very nutritious for a month.

Fortunately, people in ancient times were not short, so she didn't look ugly even though she was a little fat. On the contrary, her skin looked better.

There are so many people coming today. Almost all the officials from Jinzhou are here. Zhulan came out first.

Liu smiled and said, "Sister, please let us see the young master."

The name given by the emperor, although the name is not very nice, is also glorious.

Zhulan knew that these ladies all wanted to see their son, and it was useless for her to stop them, so she motioned for Mrs. Song to come over with the child, and Zhulan took the child.

Mrs. Liu had already walked forward and looked at the little boy carefully. He was named in front of the emperor just one month old. She was really jealous. As long as the child didn't grow up to be disabled, he would have a promising future. He looked good. Liu thought that it was fortunate that Yang looked good, otherwise he would look like Lord Zhou, and the emperor would have given him a name in vain.

After Liu looked at them for a few seconds, she sat back down. Qi came forward and glared at Liu. As a third-rank official's wife, how could Liu sit in the front row? "Liu Shuren should really take a closer look. The birth of this child was also related to Liu Shuren!"
