Jiang Xuelin turned her head to look at Fu Hanlai, then moved her head forward and kissed Fu Hanlai on the cheek.
"Tsk, I just can't do anything with you." After Jiang Xuelin finished kissing him, Fu Hanlai was still a bit smug, complaining. He then got up, rolled over from next to Jiang Xuelin, and lay down on her other side, leaning in again. "Okay, come on."
And this side too!
Jiang Xuelin suppressed a laugh, but in the end, she granted Fu Hanlai's wish and kissed him on the other cheek.
Satisfied.jpg
Both of them were quite satisfied.
Time flew by, and before they knew it, it was time for Jiang Xuetao's wedding. Since Jiang Xuetao would later pursue a career as a civil official, his in-laws also chose to marry into the civil official faction.
Originally, the distinction between civil and military officials was very clear. They didn't like each other and had their own small circles. Even though the Jing'an Marquis's mansion was now at its peak, it was just a bunch of brutes to the civil officials. It was naturally not easy to break through the barriers between civil and military officials.
However, Jiang Xuetao proved himself to be a diligent and highly learned scholar. He passed the provincial examination at a young age and will be taking the metropolitan examination this year. The teachers at the Imperial Academy believe he is a shoo-in for the metropolitan examination.
His wife was the daughter of the Chancellor of the Imperial Academy. Clearly, Jiang Xuetao's performance at the Imperial Academy had earned the Chancellor's approval, who was optimistic about his future and was therefore willing to marry his daughter to him.
The Chancellor of the Imperial Academy is a fourth-rank official. Although the rank may seem low, much lower than the second-rank Marquis of Jing'an, the civil officials in this dynasty are generally considered to have a slightly higher status than the military officials. The Chancellor of the Imperial Academy is a member of the most distinguished family among the elite. If the other party had not taken a liking to Jiang Xuetao, the Jiang family might not have been willing to arrange a marriage with him.
When Jiang Xuetao got married, Jiang Xuelin's three sisters-in-law all brought their children back, but none of his brothers came back, as they couldn't leave the border area alone.
When the sisters-in-law learned that Jiang Xuelin was pregnant, they were all very happy to see her and took out the things they had prepared for her.
"When I came back, your brother said that Lin'er is indeed our family's daughter. He really liked all the things you sent."
"That's right. Your brother also said that the silver you sent could allow your soldiers to eat a few more bites of meat."
This refers to how Jiang Xuelin, through Emperor Xuande, exchanged the profits from "The Sun Shines Brightly" for supplies to send to the border.
The sisters-in-law looked at Jiang Xuelin as if she were their own daughter.
"Your third brother was lamenting to me the other day, saying that he had watched you run around like a little girl, but now you're about to become a mother. It's a pity that the war at the border is so intense that he can't come back. Don't be upset, little sister."
With three sisters-in-law and so many sons but no daughters, and having all watched Jiang Xuelin grow up, they practically treated her like their own daughter.
Seeing her belly, I was naturally very worried.
Fu Hanlai, who was pushed to the side: "..."
Although this place is for women, there are no guests, only members of the Jiang family. That's why Fu Han was able to come. He was also worried about Jiang Xuelin, since there were many people here today. Even though he knew the Jiang family wouldn't let anything happen to Jiang Xuelin, he still wanted to come along.
Then he realized that he couldn't get close to Jiang Xuelin at all or he would be pushed aside.
Fortunately, the maidservant beside him did not forget her master and served him tea, so he could wait in peace.
Fu Hanlai: "..."
I don't want to drink tea at all.
Jiang Xuelin, you're inhuman! You forgot about me as soon as you met your sister-in-law, didn't you? You forgot what you said on the way here?
However, considering that Jiang Xuelin hadn't seen her nephew and sister-in-law for a long time, Fu Hanlai couldn't say anything and could only sulk on the side.
Jiang Xuelin's third sister-in-law noticed this scene and gave Jiang Xuelin a teasing smile.
Before she married Jiang Xuehai, she lived in the capital and was well aware of the entanglements between her sister-in-law and the Prince of Ping. Who would have thought that these two, who never met, would actually get married?
Noticing her sister-in-law's smile, Jiang Xuelin immediately realized what was happening, and her ears turned slightly red.
This was extremely rare for her; her sisters-in-law had never seen Jiang Xuelin like this before, and they immediately smiled meaningfully.
My little girl has really grown up.
However, seeing that she had returned to attend Jiang Xuetao's wedding, and that Fu Hanlai followed her closely, he knew that the young couple were currently enjoying a blissful period of happiness.
I never expected this.
The fact that none of the three older brothers had anyone else in the backyard was actually another reason why the Chancellor of the Imperial Academy would take a liking to Jiang Xuetao.
From the father to the three older brothers, the backyard was always spotless. In such a family, there wouldn't be so many problems in the backyard.
Today, all the guests were relatives and friends. Jiang Xuelin was of high status, so naturally no one dared to come to her. Seeing her family made her feel good all day.
On the way back, Fu Hanlai stopped being difficult, which surprised Jiang Xuelin.
She thought that, given Fu Hanlai's recent temperament, he might throw a tantrum.
That's what she was curious about, and that's why she asked the question.
What kind of person do you take me for?
Hearing this impatient question, Jiang Xuelin couldn't help but stroke her chin and think for a moment before finally organizing her thoughts, "Hmm... if it weren't for the fact that it was me whose belly had grown bigger, I would have suspected that it was you who was pregnant that day."
Fu Hanlai: "...?"
"Both my mother and my mother-in-law said that pregnant women's personalities change a lot and they become more sensitive."
Jiang Xuelin stopped there, but looked at Fu Hanlai with a meaningful expression, giving him a knowing look.
Fu Hanlai: "..."
I was instantly furious.
ungrateful!
Did you hear that?!
Jiang Xuelin, you have no conscience!
"Who am I doing this for? Huh? Who am I doing this for?" She was worried sick. Although she had learned a lot from He Taiyi beforehand, she still couldn't react when it suddenly happened.
Just like half a month ago, when he felt the movement of the two children, he never expected that Doctor He had told him that the children would make a fuss.
It should be said that ever since Jiang Xuelin became pregnant, Fu Hanlai has never truly felt at ease. He gets very nervous at the slightest sign of trouble, but he is unwilling to show this nervousness.
Hmm... I thought I hadn't shown it.
Seeing Fu Hanlai's bitter and resentful expression, Jiang Xuelin couldn't help but laugh.
Fu Hanlai: "You're still laughing? You're actually still laughing? Jiang Xuelin, don't you know you should have a conscience...?"
Jiang Xuelin held back her laughter, but after glancing at Fu Hanlai, she couldn't help but burst out laughing again.
He really... he's going to be driven crazy by Jiang Xuelin sooner or later!
That day will come sooner or later!
