"Great, great! It's a good time for us to go and pray to the gods for Madam to give birth to a little master safely." Ning Xue said happily, "It's also a good time for me to go out for a walk with Madam to relax. It's been a long time since we went out."
Ningxue has been feeling very depressed for the past half month. Yang Yiyi and Cui Biyun live here, and she is afraid that they will get close to her young master. She is on guard every day, fearing that they will run into each other.
She didn't tell Xia Tian about this, she just wanted to do it on her own.
Ningxiang also knew and nodded in agreement, "Yes. Let's go together and bring Cuiyun and Cuiling with us."
"Take Ningyue and Ningshuang with you, they go out less often than we do."
Lying on the couch in the summer and listening to the two maids' arrangements, I suddenly felt that life was quite comfortable.
If there weren't other people popping up from time to time to make their presence felt, this life would actually be much better than her previous life.
After Ningxue finished speaking, she began to rummage through the drawers!
"What are you doing?" Ningxiang was puzzled, not knowing what she was doing. She had stuff all over half of the kang.
"Oh, this lady is pregnant with the young master. I need to find some cloth to make clothes and shoes for him."
Ningxiang was delighted when she heard this, "Yes, find more, and find some that are more delicate and soft."
"I know. I'm looking for it!" Ningxue was rummaging through a pile of cloth. Ningxiang finished the work at hand and came over to help her look.
"This one is fine." Ningxue showed Ningxiang a plain one. "Feel it, isn't it soft?"
"Yeah, it's pretty good." Ningxiang touched the fabric and found it soft. "Isn't this color too plain?"
"This is something to wear inside, plain colors are better."
"Yeah, then you can't wear such plain clothes outside."
Ningxiang and Ningxue were discussing enthusiastically, and Xia Tian couldn't help but interrupt, "Isn't it a little early for you two to get ready now?"
It’s only been over a month, and neither the boy nor the girl knows!
"It's not too early. Let's do it slowly. It's not easy to ask an embroiderer to make children's clothes. We feel more at ease if we do it ourselves." Ningxiang said as she sorted the fabrics.
"Yes, there are also small shoes and a small hat." Ningxue agreed, and counted the days on her fingers. "It will be winter when the Madam gives birth to the young master, so we need to prepare cotton clothes. It's better to prepare them early so that we don't have to rush and miss the date."
Xia Tian found it funny that these two people were more active than her.
Not wanting to dampen their enthusiasm, he just ignored it and said, "Then you guys discuss it slowly. I'll go to the study to draw."
The portraits of Madam Li and Madam Wang have not been painted yet!
"Madam, if you feel unwell today, just take a rest! Why are you in such a hurry to paint?" Ningxiang hurried over and held down Xia Tian who was about to get up.
"That's right, you didn't eat anything at noon. Drink a bowl of soup first and then take a nap. You are healthy now, so you can't overwork yourself." Ningxue also agreed.
He quickly gathered up the cloth in his hands, packed the rest into the box, and hurried out. "What's wrong with Cuiling? It's been so long and the soup isn't ready yet?"
Ningxue complained and hurried out of the house.
Soon, Cuiling came in with the stewed kelp, shrimp and tofu soup.
"Madam, other soups take time to prepare, so this shrimp and tofu soup is quick. You can drink some first, and I will make it for you when you want to eat more." Cui Ling put the soup bowl on the small table next to the couch as she spoke.
Summer smelled the fragrance and felt really hungry, so she picked up the spoon and took a sip, "Hmm, delicious."
"If it tastes good, ma'am, please drink more. There's more in the kitchen!" Cui Ling said happily while holding the tray.
Seeing that drinking this soup in the summer did not make me feel nauseous or retching, I felt a lot more relaxed.
While she was stewing the soup just now, she heard Aunt Fu and Sister-in-law Fu talk a lot about what pregnant women look like, especially three months ago, when they will have more or less pregnancy reactions. Many women have such severe pregnancy reactions that they vomit whatever they eat!
It made her so worried!
Seeing that Xia Tian had no reaction when drinking soup, she felt happy. "Madam, is there anything else you want to eat? I will make it for you."
After drinking half a bowl of soup, Xia Tian felt that he had an appetite. It was difficult to refuse Cui Ling's hospitality, so he thought for a moment and said, "Give me a bowl of vegetarian noodles with more chili."
"Okay, I'll go right away." Cui Ling responded happily and went back to the kitchen.
Ningxiang and Ningxue were also very happy. This meant that the young master could eat and grow well.
Cuiling quickly brought over a bowl of vegetarian noodles and also served chili peppers and vinegar.
In the summer, I added a spoonful of chili pepper and a little vinegar to adjust the taste before starting to eat.
Ningxue saw her put a large spoonful of chili peppers and was secretly anxious. She pulled Ningxiang to whisper in her ear, "You said Madam put so much chili peppers, it seems she likes spicy food. This is a sour boy and a spicy girl. Is Madam pregnant with a little girl?"
"Madam is also jealous!" Ningxiang retorted, "It's not allowed to be sour boy or spicy girl, right?"
"Oh, that's what the old people say!" Ning Xue analyzed, "Madam just added a large spoonful of chili peppers, but only a little vinegar. It seems she prefers spicy food."
"This..." Ningxiang choked and thought for a while before she uttered, "The young lady is also very good."
No matter whether it is a boy or a girl, it is still the wife's child.
Besides, even if this is the first child, there is still a chance to give birth to a son in the future.
"I didn't say anything bad about the young lady!" Ningxue was afraid that Ningxiang would misunderstand, so she quickly explained, "I was just thinking that since Madam finally got pregnant, if we could have a little master, no one would dare to say anything bad about her in front of Madam anymore."
"Don't worry! Our young master is not that kind of person." Ningxiang comforted Ningxue.
The expression on Xia Tian's face while eating noodles was hard to describe. These two girls, aren't their worries a bit unnecessary?
I was worried before I got pregnant, and now that I’m pregnant, I’m worried about whether it’s a boy or a girl. I guess I’ll have to worry about getting married and having children in the future!
Although she also knew that in ancient times, having a son was definitely better than having a daughter, but as long as it was her child, regardless of gender, she would be happy.
She pretended not to hear their discussion and ate the noodles in the bowl in small bites. Only then did she feel much better in her stomach.
She felt a little sleepy after dinner and wanted to take a nap, but Ningxiang and Ningxue disagreed.
He said that lying down right after eating was not good for the body, and he dragged her around the yard for quarter of an hour before letting her into the house.
It was afternoon and she had no mood to paint, so she simply went to bed and took a nap.
Ningxiang and Ningxue were worried that her feet must be sore from walking for a while, so they each massaged one of her legs.
It made her laugh and cry!
But it was very comfortable, and she fell asleep in a short while!
She slept so long and deeply that it was dark when she woke up.
Shen Nian had returned and sat next to her, looking at her, "Awake?"
"Well, how long have I slept?" Xia Tian rubbed her face and was about to get up when Shen Nian quickly reached out and helped her sit up.
"Slow down!" Shen Nian supported her carefully, as if she were made of clay.
Did he know she was pregnant?
