Because Ye Jiayin married into the Lu family, and Lu Rufa was now the president of the academy and a man who had a lot of influence in front of the emperor. His nephew's wedding was very lively, when the sedan chair passed by the Xu family's gate.
Jin Shuqin heard the sound. She did not listen to Aunt Xu and had an abortion, nor did she take a second wife. She was betting that Aunt Xu would never see her come home with a big belly.
"Sister, the servants said that Miss Ye got married from the Marquis's Mansion."
Ye Jiayin? Jin Shuqin's face turned pale. She and Ye Jiayin were love rivals to some extent. At first, Mrs. Weng was trying to match Ye Jiayin and Fang Weiyan, and she naturally fell in love with Fang Weiyan.
Although her family was in poverty, she still had brothers, a mother, and a sister to support each other, as well as several good relatives, and the family was rich.
But Ye Jiayin had nothing except a little favor from the old lady, and her health was not good.
She was not favored by her aunt, Mrs. Xu. Jin Shuqin asked, "Who did she marry?"
She must not have married a good person.
Jin Shuhui's face was not very good either: "I heard that she married the nephew of a scholar from Lu University. His family runs a pawnshop. Although his father is just a minor official, his uncle is a scholar from Lu University and is very caring towards him. He lives in Lu's house."
This is indeed a very affordable and helpful marriage. When the Bachelor of Lu University becomes the Dean of the Academy at the age of thirty, it is very likely that he will enter the imperial court. Moreover, he is still young and has a promising future.
Who doesn't want to go to this hot stove.
Moreover, the fact that the family ran a pawnshop showed that they were not just well-off but extremely wealthy.
But why would they fall for such a sickly person?
Jin Shuqin was puzzled, but Jin Shuhui couldn't help shaking her head. Her sister was just angry because she saw that others were living a good life.
But it was said that Ye Jiayin returned home three days later, and everyone met her cousin Lu Shouzhong. He was just like his name, nothing special about him, and he was a little fat, but he was a peaceful person.
Ye Jiayin's face flushed, and Old Lady Weng smiled and said, "It seems that this marriage is not bad."
Xu also asked, "How do they treat you at home?" She was an aunt and also played the role of a mother. The night before Ye Jiayin got married, she was the one who taught her about bedroom matters and held her hand and gave her instructions for half the night.
Ye Jiayin said hurriedly: "The Lu family treats me very well."
Lu Shouzhong was a simple-minded man. Although the Lu family's conditions were far inferior to those of the Marquis's Mansion, Ye Jiayin's dowry was still rich. Her current dowry was all left by her mother and given by Old Madam Weng, so he didn't make it difficult for her.
In fact, because the Lu family was such a simple family with no family disputes, Ye Jiayin actually missed the hustle and bustle of the Marquis' Mansion.
At least she could talk to Fang Yaqing and her fourth cousin's wife on weekdays, and when she was free, she could go boating and pick lotus with the other women in the mansion, roast barbecues in the winter, and talk about music, chess, calligraphy and painting in her spare time.
"As long as I treat you well, the old lady is thinking about you. I'll ask someone to prepare a banquet, and you should chat with the old lady and the other ladies." Xu said with a smile.
Although Xu had her own reasons for arranging this marriage, she still inquired about the man. Otherwise, she would not have pushed her niece into this fire pit. She also wanted to do good deeds.
Moreover, the daughter-in-law also mentioned that Ye Jiayin had outstanding character. Although she looked weak, she was a clear-headed and sensible person.
As expected, Ye Jiayin is very easy to deal with. If she says that it is great to be in the Lu family, then Mrs. Weng will have a much better opinion of her as a daughter-in-law.
After getting married, Mi Niang has always been mainly around her husband's relatives. It's not that she doesn't visit her own relatives, but most of the people she knows are young girls. But she is the youngest, and these people have already become her own children, so it's nothing serious. Because of this, it's difficult for her to find an excuse to leave.
It happened that the grandson of the Li family was one month old, so Mrs. Li, as Mi Niang's husband, of course sent her a message, and Mi Niang went to talk to Xu.
"Madam, I wanted to accompany you to Xu's house that day, but it seems that I can't go."
When Xu heard that they were going to the Li family, she didn't think too much and said with a smile: "You young people don't know how to prepare gifts, I will prepare them for you. Besides, going to the Li family is the proper way, and Lord Li is the Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of Personnel. You can go to your uncle's place anytime."
When it comes to selecting officials, you will have to rely on others.
Mi Niang flattered Xu: "You are definitely better at preparing gifts than us young people. I am counting on you. Besides, if there is a suitable marriage for my sister, I can also help to mediate."
"Yaqing will depend entirely on your brother and sister-in-law for help." It can be said that Ye Jiayin's marriage was arranged by Fang Weiyan.
Although Fang Weiyan usually seems to be a gentleman and seems to be oblivious to what is happening outside, he is a man and has a lot of information about his outside life, and he also knows many scholars.
The youngest son Weijun was not as good as his elder brother in this respect. Although he had a pure heart and hated evil, he lacked the tactical skills and was easily blamed for doing too much.
"Mom, what are you talking about? This is what we should do. We must open our eyes carefully this time and find a good aunt for our sister." Mi Niang said with a smile.
As the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were talking, Xiangjun came over with a smile in her eyes and she was in a good mood.
Mi Niang knew why. The second son Fang Weichang had no money to donate to become an official, so he actually thought of committing murder for money. If Fang Weiyan had not left quickly, Fang Furong's life would have been in danger. At the same time, Fang Weiyan appeased Wang Anshen and blocked the news that he was Fang Furong's adulterer, and only said that Fang Furong was forced.
But because of this, Dong'an Hou was very disappointed and felt that these people had no future.
This was a good thing for the third master Fang Weiting. Xu personally gave him 800 taels of silver to donate to him. The third house turned misfortune into fortune, and the lady was willing to run to Xu's place.
The old lady is still unreliable. She gave all her money to outsiders. Although the lady has ulterior motives, she is better than her own brothers.
They asked the prince Fang Weichang for eight hundred taels, but he refused to give it. The sister-in-law was also a stingy person, so at the critical moment, it was the mistress who stepped in.
"Hey, third sister-in-law is here. We were just talking about you. Aunt will be on the way soon, so we are just short of one person." Mi Niang laughed happily.
The women in the family spent their time playing flower cards and mahjong together.
The local gentleman waved his hands and said, "I can't do that. I'm afraid I'll lose everything."
Fang Furong, who was just walking in, said, "What do you mean by all the cards? You are a master at hiding your cards. You never play the cards I want."
Ever since Fang Furong was rescued by Fang Weiyan, she has been relying on Xu Shi. She is afraid that Xu Shi will suffer losses, so she won't let the eldest wife take the position and often comes here to play mahjong.
Anyway, she has money and can afford to lose.
An afternoon passed like this. Mi Niang didn't care much about winning or losing, because Fang Furong personally gave a lot of money to Fang Wei Yan to smooth the relationship. She also got 800 taels from Xu and asked him to donate money for the third son to be imprisoned. Fang Wei Yan had an acquaintance, so 500 taels was enough to get him done. The extra 300 taels was given directly to Mi Niang.
Therefore, Mi Niang is not short of money.
Now that she lives in the Marquis's Mansion, she doesn't have to spend any money on monthly allowances for clothes, food and drink for all four seasons, and she has few social interactions, so she has no expenses at all.
When I returned to the yard, Fang Weiyan had just come back.
Mi Niang smiled and said, "Hey, why did you come back so early today? If I had known, I would have come back earlier."
"I played Mahjong with them again. How much did I lose?" Fang Weiyan asked.
His daughter-in-law is different from others. She doesn't care much about winning or losing when playing cards. She thinks that even if she wins, it's not bad. As long as the loss is within her control, she doesn't feel like she has lost.
Mi Niang opened the money box and handed it to him, saying with a smile, "You haven't lost a penny yet, don't worry."
Fang Weiyan praised her: "Who is as open-minded as my wife?"
"You used to use very elegant words, but now you keep calling me daughter-in-law. You really have the nerve to do that. Don't praise me for being open-minded. I just treat it as my wife's companion. Now that the prince has fallen from power, Weijun is being taught by the Marquis himself, and she is in a very good mood."
In fact, Mi Niang was most afraid of Xu staring at her belly, as if a woman should be sentenced if she was not pregnant two or three months after marriage. Fortunately, Xu might have too many things to do and did not say that.
She also reciprocated the favor by teaching Fang Yaqing to paint and play the pipa whenever she had time, or by accompanying Xu to have fun.
Fang Weiyan said, "In fact, most of the classes in the Hanlin Academy are quite easy. Scholar Cui has not asked us to write Qingci these days. I just need to complete the classes."
"This is the real life of you in the Hanlin Academy. I am very jealous." She once heard her father say that among all the officials in the capital, the Hanlin Academy had the least intrigue and they were also the closest ministers to the emperor.
Although it is said that a poor Hanlin is a poor Hanlin, if one is favored by the emperor, his value will instantly double.
Fang Weiyan smiled and said, "Don't be jealous. They are busy enough. Zhang Ao and the other three top scholars lost one Tan Lin, and the other two are still revising books. Who knows when they will finish their work."
"They were all in the Hanlin Academy last night. I saw them in the morning and they looked very anxious." Thinking of this, Fang Weiyan felt a little sympathetic.
Mi Niang hadn't been out for a while, so when she got up in the morning she naturally drew her eyebrows and painted her eyes, making look very decent. Fang Wei Yan was sitting on the recliner behind her, watching her dress up, without a trace of impatience.
This is the kind of man that Mi Niang likes. Unlike her father, he is always in a hurry when he goes out, but only realizes that he has forgotten something after he goes out.
Besides, the baby was one month old, so she couldn't go there so early in the morning. After getting dressed, Mi Niang had breakfast leisurely with Fang Wei Yan, and put on some lip balm before going out.
Xu didn't have to worry about that. She was going back to her parents' home, where she was very familiar with the people there, so there was no need to be as formal as Mi Niang. Besides, she had to rush back at noon, so she couldn't worry about a lot of things.
Even though there was such a fuss before because of Fang Yaqing's breaking off the engagement, Aunt Xu was very aware of the current situation and knew that she had no choice but to break off the engagement, so she never made a fuss again. Mrs. Xu also did not tell anyone else about Jin Shuqin's pregnancy. Everyone only knew that it was because of Xu Jing's fate that was harmful to Fang Yaqing, because Mrs. Xu still had a good relationship with her natal family.
Aunt Xu would never give in to Jin Shuqin. Her son was not very old anyway. But if Jin Shuqin dragged her feet, she would drag her feet too.
Xu thought Jin Shuqin deserved it. You did this, but she refused to give in. What can you do? What do you think your pregnancy can affect? The entire Jin family is in someone's hands. Who do you think you are?
She and Aunt Xu were chatting and laughing. When Aunt Xu heard that Fang Weiyan and his wife had gone to Minister Li's house for a drink, she smiled and said, "Your Weiyan is really capable. Now that he has established a good relationship with the Minister of Personnel, he will benefit a lot."
Mrs. Xu said with some pride: "My daughter-in-law is a disciple of Madam Li. When she got married, Madam Li gave her a lot of makeup. Isn't this because they often visit each other? Hey, I told you all this before, have you forgotten it?"
Aunt Xu certainly remembered that her husband's official position was entrusted to Ruan Jiading, who was still in Beijing, to be taken to the Li family.
She was extremely jealous of her sister-in-law, but fortunately, her sister-in-law was very nice to her family, so Aunt Xu didn't care about it and even gave her a lot of medicinal herbs.
"I tell you that these herbs are good for replenishing qi and blood. I can't bear to drink them myself. Isn't it for Wei Yan's wife? I hope he will have a son soon, so you don't have to worry about him."
She understood everything her sister-in-law was thinking.
To be honest, her sister-in-law grew up under her care and she had always been so good to her. This was also the reason why Xu wanted to marry her daughter to her.
The two chatted for a while. Aunt Xu knew that the Marquis of Dong'an began to value Weijun, and she was also happy for her sister-in-law: "That's great. If I were to say, you Weiyan really did everything right. Fang Furong was a useless chess piece. It's okay if she was killed. Your eldest son and his wife made the second son a scapegoat in this matter. Although the position of the prince was taken away, it would be very easy to turn things around. But now there is Fang Furong there. She has a blood feud with the eldest and second sons. Even if you don't take action, someone will stand up for you every day. As for the money Fang Furong took away, she is a widow with no children. She didn't bring it with her when she was born, and she can't take it with her when she dies. It will belong to you in the future. In this regard, you are really not as smart as Weiyan."
It's not as if Xu didn't understand this principle, but she had too much personal resentment towards Fang Furong and the eldest couple. She finally found the opportunity and hoped that they would all be in trouble.
The parties involved are confused, but the bystanders can see things clearly. Xu sighed, "Of course I don't know this truth. It's because I didn't have enough education. Look at my daughter-in-law and son, they are both well-educated and better than me in everything."
Aunt Xu secretly complained, it's an insult for you to say that, it's not that we didn't cultivate you back then, it's just that you didn't learn well and you still blame your family.
However, Xu couldn't stay at her parents' home for long, so she took the herbs and prepared to go back. On the way, she met Aunt Jin with tears in her eyes.
Aunt Xu smiled and said, "Big sister, what are you doing?"
"We have been providing you with good food and good wine. When your little rascal got into trouble at school, it was my third child who fixed it for him."
Aunt Xu had always looked down on her. At that time, her father had an illegitimate child, and when the woman was bought back, she had already said that she could not have children, but she did not care. Unexpectedly, she was pregnant for three or four months before she secretly told her that she did not need an illegitimate child to snatch her son's property.
The younger sister-in-law, Xu, was much smarter and stood firmly on her side. The older sister-in-law was confused and insisted that it was just to give her a meal.
Is that a matter of making a living?
If everyone in the family marries without the mistress's consent, then today you marry, tomorrow he marries, and on what basis can she serve as a dowry for others?
Aunt Jin felt heartbroken when she heard Aunt Xu mocking her. Shuqin was suffering from morning sickness and was vomiting all over the place, but she couldn't let anyone know, otherwise everyone would know that she was a woman who didn't abide by her rules, and they would think that Aunt Xu was right.
She looked at Xu, "Sister, I have something to tell you."
Xu was so angry that she laughed. Your daughter did something indecent. It is true that Xu Jing is not a good person, but your Jin family has received the most favors from me, and yet you actually stabbed our family in the back. Do you think I am someone who is easy to talk to?
"Goodbye, I have something else to do, sister-in-law, sister, I'll leave first."
Aunt Jin came forward and pulled at Xu's clothes, revealing a kind of sadness. Aunt Xu advised Xu: "Just go and meet him, don't let outsiders think that our family treats our relatives badly."
Xu thought to herself that it really wasn't a good look to have such a tug-of-war in front of so many people.
This was the first time the two sisters sat together since this incident.
Aunt Jin laughed dryly: "Wei Yan and Wei Jun...are they all right?"
"It's all good. Thank you for your concern." Although Xu hated the Jin family's actions, her sister was indeed pitiful.
Aunt Jin looked very happy: "It's good that everything is fine. I was worried every day. Sister, you are better than me. Wei Yan and Wei Jun are both filial."
The illegitimate son she has is of no use, and she really envies her younger sister.
Mrs. Xu lowered her eyes and said, "Why are you talking about this now? If you don't have anything else to say, I'm leaving." As she said this, she was about to leave. She had brought so many good herbs, so she had to find an old doctor to check on her daughter-in-law's health and whether she needed any nourishment.
She has a lot of things to do.
Aunt Jin then said hesitantly, "I do have something to tell you. It's about Shuqin."
Xu was so angry that she laughed: "You don't have to tell me about Shuqin's affairs."
"I know she has let you down, but she can't go out now. She suffers from morning sickness every day. Her big belly will be discovered sooner or later. What do you think we can do about this? Shuhui said she would go to the government to sue the adulterous woman in the Xu family, and I'm afraid of Shuqin's reputation... Oh..." Aunt Jin still hoped that Xu could help.
When Xu heard that the Jin family was going to file a complaint at the government office, she couldn't help but ask, "My sister, let's not talk about why I didn't help you. Let's just say that you are going to file a complaint at the government office. First of all, who will go to the Xu family? And secondly, who will file a complaint? Will your Shuhui file a complaint?"
"She is a girl and she doesn't care about her reputation. Besides, your boy is just a little rascal. He is always making trouble and has a lot of problems. He has been blamed by others. If you want to sue, go ahead. I won't stop you. But you should think it through. Besides, Shuqin deserves what she has today. I won't accompany you any more. I want to go home."
As for the Jin sisters, Xu now hates them so much that she doesn't care whether they live or die.
Aunt Jin heard clearly the contempt in Xu's words, but she was not the kind of person who would stick to the old ways. If she was really a scheming person, she could only watch Xu leave.
After Xu left, Jin Shuhui walked out from behind the screen with a very cold look in her eyes.
Aunt Jin was shocked and said quickly: "Shuhui, I am not saying that your aunt has some truth in what she said. It is that we need to file a lawsuit and your sister is lying in bed. You are a woman, and this..."
"I will definitely avenge this." Jin Shuhui said viciously.
Aunt Jin was frightened and hurriedly said, "Silly child, don't do anything stupid."
"Don't worry, I'm going to put them in the book."
Only then did Aunt Jin breathe a sigh of relief.
On the way back, Xu secretly thought that how could Aunt Jin and Jin Shuqin, small fry like them, ever defeat her sister-in-law, an old sparrow from Dongting Lake.
When she returned home, Wei Jun had just finished practicing martial arts and was about to go back to his room. Xu's youngest son seemed very happy: "How was your study today?"
"It's okay. Dad said I should practice harder. Fourth brother told me to take the martial arts exam. Having a good background is better than anything else." Fang Weijun has finally found the direction of his efforts.
His knowledge is really limited. His elder brother is very talented in studying, which he can't compare to at all. However, as for martial arts, he has a professional instructor and is not very old, so he is doing better.
Xu nodded continuously: "That's good. Just do as your brother said. He will definitely do what's best for you."
I heard that my fourth brother refused the title for me, but he never took credit for it. In his heart, he was very grateful to his brother, so he naturally listened to what he said.
"I know." Fang Weijun said happily.
Now that the eldest brother has lost his position as the crown prince, he has won our father's favor and has a bright future. Shouldn't he be in a good mood?
Mi Niang was also very happy at this time. She had met her mother at Li's house in advance, and Mrs. Ding had seen her daughter a few days ago. When they met suddenly, the mother and daughter paid their respects to Mrs. Li as they did before.
Mrs. Li is very familiar with them, and even if Mrs. Jane is here, she can't alienate their relationship.
"Isn't this Mi Niang? You two mother and daughter agreed to come together."
Mi Niang quickly smiled and said, "No, I just happened to meet my mother at the door. I came here with my son Si Lang."
Mrs. Wu also joined in the fun: "Look, now even the grandfathers are talking about it."
Her mother-in-law directly placed Guan's son on her lap, and she is now very satisfied. As for Guan, although she is favored by Li Guan, she has recently placed two skinny girls who are still virgins by Li Guan's side. They can play all kinds of instruments, compose poems and songs, and are more beautiful than Guan Huiqing.
The backyard was bustling, but the Wu family's position became more stable.
Mi Niang's situation is still in the early stages. Everyone goes through this when they get married, but after that, all men are the same.
Wu may still have feelings for Li Guan, but a son is more important than a man. She had a miscarriage and now she dared not get pregnant easily. She should take care of her body first and let the two skinny men take care of her. When she has recovered, she will give birth to a legitimate son.
As for the child in her belly, she should just raise him. It has nothing to do with Guan's status.
Every time Guan used those tricks to win favor, it annoyed her mother-in-law, especially when she used her belly and children to gain everyone's attention, which made her mother-in-law even more disgusted.
Of course, Mrs. Jian was also accompanied by Jian Yuehua. She was Zhang Ao's wife and Yuan Fu's daughter-in-law. She pretended to be humble on the surface, but in her heart she looked down on Mi Niang. She had been married for several months but there was no good news.
She is young, but Ruan Mi Niang got married after she reached the age of 15, so she is not young anymore.
Wang Sanniang arrived at the right time. She was now Cui Ti's wife, so naturally she was treated differently. Even Madam Li stood up to greet her and said, "Speaking of which, I know her grandmother. She is worthy of being the granddaughter taught by Madam Wang. She is so impressive."
It turns out that Old Madam Wang is from the same clan as Mi Niang. Of course, Mi Niang doesn't like this old lady very much.
Wang Sanniang was surrounded by people and said quickly, "Why bother you to stand up and greet me?"
Her husband was only loyal to the emperor, and these factions all wanted to win over Cui Ti, so Wang Sanniang's status also rose.
Mrs. Li smiled and said, "Isn't this what should be done?"
Jian Yuehua also stood up quickly and said, "Sanniang, come and sit here with me."
She and Wang Sanniang met in Hangzhou and they had a very good relationship. Although she was born out of wedlock, she was not petty at all and was very loyal. Once she fell into the water and was rescued by Wang Sanniang. When the family in Yangzhou broke off the engagement, it was Wang Sanniang who comforted her.
Everything about her is good except that she is not my wife's daughter.
Wang Sanniang also felt that although Jian Yuehua was cheerful and arrogant, she was actually very sincere in treating her, and she was quick to accept his advice.
Cui Ti didn't give face to anyone in the Hanlin Academy, but she was very good to Jian Yuehua's husband Zhang Ao, and recommended him to take turns in the inner cabinet. Although Zhang Ao was the top scholar and the son of Yuan Fu, it was more Cui Ti's recommendation.
Mi Niang had no reaction to the intimate behavior of Wang Sanniang and Jian Yuehua. She just came to their house to attend the full moon banquet. She still believed in Fang Weiyan and thought that he might not end up in a bad situation in the future. Other people's glory is theirs too. There is no point in licking it.
In her previous life, when she was a concubine selected, she only wanted to be the mistress. After becoming the mistress, she wanted to become a royal concubine. Even after becoming the imperial concubine, she did not seem to be happy.
To be honest, she is truly happy to have a pair of feet that can do whatever they want in her life, her parents are both there, her husband is kind and gentle, and she is the only one with him, and they get along very well.
When Mrs. Li was talking to Wang Sanniang and others, she knew that Mi Niang loved to eat fish paste flower cake, so she specially asked someone to send a plate of it over.
Who would have known that as soon as she picked it up, Mi Niang felt a little nauseous.
She didn't know what was wrong with her recently, but she always felt a little nauseous. Although her period was less this month, it still came, so she probably wasn't pregnant.
"Why don't you eat?" asked Mrs. Ding.
Mi Niang shook her head: "I don't know if it's because the weather is too hot, I always feel a little nauseous."
Mrs. Wu had sharp ears, so she immediately asked, "Are you pregnant?"
The word "pregnant" made the women in the family speak in lower voices.
Madam Li and Wang Sanniang were just casual acquaintances. In fact, she didn't like Cui Ti either, because she was too flattering to the emperor. She said she was a loyal minister, but she was just afraid of taking any risks in being an official.
This shows that he is essentially a selfish person. Although Mrs. Li hopes that her husband will be promoted to a higher position, she also hopes that he can do something useful as an official.
Now when he heard the word "pregnant", he immediately ignored everyone else and asked her, "Mi Niang is pregnant?"
Mi Niang waved her hands quickly: "Not really, I just feel a little nauseous when the weather gets hot."
Seeing that she didn't look like she was pregnant, Jian Yuehua pretended to be concerned and said, "It's already the Double Ninth Festival, how can it still be hot here? You should ask a doctor to take a look. I remember that the Li family seems to have a doctor."
Mrs. Jian glanced at Mi Niang and saw her smile sweetly: "Okay, then let's ask the doctor to take a look. I'm young and don't know anything. I'd better trouble the elders to take a look at me."
In fact, most families have taboos and will not tell others if the fetus is not stable for three months. Jian Yuehua's idea is really vicious. If Mi Niang is not pregnant, it will be a blank bullet, making people happy in vain, and make everyone think that she can't get pregnant after getting married. If Mi Niang is pregnant, but it's not even three months, then Zhang Yang, who is so anxious, will not be blessed by then, and it is very likely that he will not be able to keep the baby.
Mrs. Ding gave Jian Yuehua a deep look, and Mi Niang patted her mother's hand soothingly, indicating that she was fine.
She is very blessed. Others may be afraid of these things, but she is not.
Mrs. Li immediately invited a doctor to the next room, and Mrs. Ding accompanied her daughter to listen to the doctor's diagnosis. After a while, the doctor said: "Although the period is early, the pulse is slippery and there is no doubt that the pregnancy is already two months."
Mi Niang was still unsure. You know, it was really hard for her to get pregnant in her previous life. She took a lot of tonics and even had a uterine bleeding. She couldn't help but ask, "Doctor, am I still having my period this month?"
"This is normal. It's early in your period. Although you have your period, it's very sparse, right?" The doctor was an old one. Although there was a curtain between us, he still comforted her out of concern for her.
Mi Niang nodded: "Then I feel relieved if you say so."
She was in a state of shock. Although her tone seemed normal, her hand had already slowly been placed on her stomach.
This life is so easy.
Although the women next door were greeting each other, Jian Yuehua, for example, seemed a little absent-minded. Wang Sanniang didn't care because she was already pregnant. She had been pregnant since she entered the house, but she couldn't tell anyone because it was not yet three months.
Soon, Mi Niang and Ding Er Niang came back. Mrs. Li saw that they were all smiling, so what was there that she didn't understand?
"Is this a pregnancy?"
Second Madam Ding nodded and said, "It's too early in the month, otherwise the child wouldn't have noticed it herself." She then said to Jian Yuehua sincerely, "Thank you Third Madam Zhang for reminding us, otherwise we wouldn't have known she was pregnant."
Jian Yuehua forced a smile.
Mrs. Li felt a little jealous. In fact, Mi Niang got pregnant only three months after she got married. And looking at her appearance, her face was rosy and it was obvious that she was living a very comfortable life in her husband's family.
Otherwise, every woman would stare at her belly as soon as she enters the house, so how could she be so careless?
"You have to pay attention to that." Mrs. Li instructed.
Mi Niang smiled and nodded, then tilted her head and said in confusion: "But why don't I feel anything at all? I just feel a little nauseous occasionally, nothing serious."
Seeing that she didn't understand anything, everyone gathered around her and started talking to her.
Jian Yuehua curled her lips and said, "What's so great about that? As a woman, every woman can give birth to a child, right?"
Wang Sanniang laughed and said, "A tree that stands out in the forest will be destroyed by the wind. It's not a good thing to be so high-profile."
“It is.”
Mi Niang had been planning to have a drink and leave today, but she had no idea that she was pregnant. It was really strange. Madam Li was afraid that the smell on the table would disturb her, so she specially asked Mrs. Wu to arrange for her to have dinner in the inner courtyard.
She did not have any other requests, but just said to Madam Li: "Can I send someone to tell my husband?"
Of course, she had to share this important life event with Fang Weiyan, as he was much more reliable than her. Besides, she had not had time to ask the doctor, as they had had sex a few days ago, so she didn't know if it had any impact.
She would definitely not ask about this kind of thing.
Mrs. Li understood and said, "Okay, I'll send someone to tell him."
Fang Weiyan, Li Guan and Zhang Ao were all in the Hanlin Academy. He had a closer relationship with Li Guan. Zhang Ao also highly respected the talent of his fellow countryman Li Guan, so he was a little disapproving of Fang Weiyan.
By chance, someone from the Li family came and said something in Fang Weiyan's ear, and his mind suddenly went blank for a moment.
He even wanted to stand up immediately, but Li Guan quickly asked, "Brother Ji Ying, what's wrong with you?"
Fang Weiyan rarely lost his composure, with a big smile on his face, "My wife is pregnant."
"Oh." Li Guan was able to say a few more words, but he couldn't say this one.
He is actually quite exhausted now. Guan Huiqing was fine at first, but later she became jealous every day. He doesn't know why, but she seemed like a different person. Mrs. Wu is not as close to him as before. She is mostly polite to him and has even found many beautiful concubines for him. But sometimes he wonders, is this really what he wants?
In the past, he and Guan Huiqing could talk about anything and were childhood sweethearts. He and Wu were also newlyweds and their life was very sweet.
What they are fighting for now is the position in the backyard, which is no longer hers.
Even if he died now, his family would at most cry a little. His mother has a grandson, and if Mrs. Wu had a son, they could still live their lives.
Look at Fang Weiyan, he is better than him.
Zhang Ao did say "Congratulations".
This is a great joyous event. Although women care about their belly, men care even more. The so-called continuation of the family line is deeply ingrained in their bones.
Fang Weiyan had never thought about having a son as far away as this. He just found it magical. What would his and Mi Niang's child be like?
Didn't they plan to stay together until old age? How come the baby came so soon?
The marriage has not been long.
Fang Weiyan was in a daze until the banquet was over. When he saw Mi Niang jumping up to him, he was a little scared: "You can't leave like this, right? Can you take a carriage later?"
Mi Niang looked at him in disbelief: "Why not? It's not that bumpy, we'll be there in a little while. Don't treat me like a porcelain figurine."
She added, "Go find a doctor quietly and ask him if there's anything wrong with us since we had sex a few days ago."
This was the matter that she cared about the most, which was why she was willing to expose herself, so that Fang Weiyan could ask the doctor on the way back, so that she wouldn't have to go back and ask the doctor in the mansion to come over. As long as they asked this question, everyone in the mansion would probably know about it the next day.
Fang Weiyan blushed as he thought about it. He just thought that she was going to have a happy life. Young couples are always very affectionate.
"Then I'll go ask."
"Okay, you're the sweetest."
Mi Niang was treated by doctors from three clinics in a row and was fine, so Fang Wei Yan was relieved.
"I'm carrying it now..."
She is really a bit incredible.
Fang Weiyan smiled and nodded: "Of course not." However, he became a little unhappy after laughing: "I heard others say that giving birth is the gate of hell, you must take good care of yourself."
This was the common mantra of the doctors today, they all said that childbirth is the gate of hell for women, so they must take good care of themselves and not take it lightly.
Mi Niang knew what he was thinking as soon as she heard it, and quickly said, "Are you stupid? People don't say that, so why would you buy so many supplements? In fact, it is true that giving birth is the gate of hell, but you can't be too nervous. If the fetus is healthy, you won't have a miscarriage if it doesn't move. If it's not healthy, you will just lie in bed every day, but it is very likely that you won't have the baby."
In her previous life, she was in charge of the six palaces and had seen all kinds of pregnant women.
Some people eat a lot when they are pregnant, and take supplements as if they are free. In the end, the fetus is too big and they have a difficult delivery.
Some were too proud of their pregnancies, some were too worried, and there was even a little palace maid who was favored and only found out she was pregnant until she gave birth.
It was extremely hard for her to be pregnant in her previous life. Because she was too thin, she often suffered from menorrhagia after intercourse. She felt like a sieve. If it weren't for the word "alive" that kept supporting her, she would have been fine.
Because of this, she got pregnant just a few months after getting married. This was really unbelievable.
My mind was in a daze for a while, but now I have finally recovered to my former carefree state.
Fang Weiyan said, "Don't say that. It's always good to be more careful. What do you think?"
"I know, I'm going to be an adult!" Mi Niang was a little depressed. Fang Wei Yan really treated her as a little girl before, but now, he even let her fend for herself.
If it were an ordinary man, he would not be able to perceive Mi Niang's emotional changes, but Fang Weiyan was not an ordinary man. He knew she was unhappy as soon as he heard her, so he smiled and said, "You are fine anyway. When I have nothing to do, I will read more about the dos and don'ts. Tell the people around you to remember these. I will take care of everything."
This was purely the most direct reaction of a man and former subordinate, and Mi Niang was satisfied: "I see you are a human being."
Fang Weiyan laughed: "I am not a human, then what was I before?"
"Anyway, you have to be my good husband, my dear good husband."
Fang Weiyan felt a little uncomfortable: "Why are you talking like that again?"
You should say things like this inside the quilt, it would be bad if someone heard it.
An ordinary couple would be ecstatic when they find out that the baby is pregnant. After the confirmation, Mi Niang and Fang Wei Yan were happy, but they felt more confused.
They are both people with great goals for the future, like Mi Niang
