Chapter 266 267. Thunder Ginger makes a sharp explosion
The baby is a little girl who loves to laugh.
Although he had never seen Lei Li and Zhou Yi, his big black eyes looked at them for a while, then curved into crescent shapes. He giggled and waved his little hands to grab their hands.
"Ouch~"
"Our lovely little baby~"
Lei Li was so happy that she carefully picked up the baby. The baby was so small, soft and warm like a small glutinous rice dumpling. She giggled as soon as the baby touched her little face.
“Ahh~”
The baby did not show any favoritism at all. After playing with Grandpa Li for a while, he opened his chubby little arms and hands and asked Grandpa Zhou Yi to hold him.
Zhou Yi held it carefully.
The little girl was as small as a cat, her bones were not fully developed, she was soft and warm like a small stove, and Zhou Yi could hold her steadily with one hand.
The little girl's arms and hands were too short to hug Zhou Yi's neck. She could only hold his collar and try to look up at Grandpa Zhou Yi.
Seeing that his chin seemed a little black, the little girl reached out to touch it curiously. As soon as she touched it, she immediately withdrew her hand, opened her little mouth, and opened her eyes even wider, looking incredible.
“……?”
Zhou Yi was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously touched his chin. It was prickly, and he had grown stubble.
"Little Jiang Jiang didn't cry even after being pricked."
Lei Li couldn't help laughing, and stretched out a finger to put it next to the baby's hand. The baby immediately held it and smiled with his eyes curved, but her hand was so small that it took her entire hand to hold just one of Lei Li's knuckles.
"Baby Jiang Jiang~"
“Ahh~”
"Baby Jiang Jiang~"
“Ahh~”
Whenever Lei Li called her, she would respond with a babyish babbling sound, which was very cute.
Jiang Jiang is the little girl’s nickname, following her surname Miao Yurui. Her full name has not been decided yet, so for now she is called Miao Jiang Jiang, or Miao Baby.
——This is what Miao Yurui called Lei Shengjiang to tease him, because Lei Shengjiang's nickname is Baobao, and Lei Baobao's little baby is also called Baobao. Every time he called him that, Lei Shengjiang would blush with embarrassment.
Originally, Lei Shengjiang thought that calling her Miao Jiangjiang was a good idea, as it had both Xiaobao's brother's name and his own name, and one could tell at a glance that it was their little baby.
But Miao Yurui said that Jiang Jiang was the first child born in the Changning Marquis' Mansion, so it would be better to give her a more formal name. Moreover, if she had her father's name, others would also call her Lei Jiang, which would not feel good.
Lei Shengjiang agreed. He wanted his brother Xiaobao to think of him when he called Jiang Jiang, but he didn't want others to think of him as well. Besides, the baby girl of him and brother Xiaobao needed a better name.
But when he thought about it this way, Lei Shengjiang felt that no name was worthy of Jiang Jiang.
He racked his brains, thinking hard, and crossing out one name after another. The child was born for more than four months, and he still hadn't come up with a satisfactory one.
Lei Dashan and the others were also thinking about it.
Miao Fulang and his wife were also thinking about it.
——After Miao Yurui confirmed that she was pregnant last year, she wrote a letter and sent it to Miao Fulang and his wife in Sanlihe Village.
After receiving the letter, Miao Fulang and Zhang Daqiang could not sit still. They packed their bags and followed the Meng family's caravan, traveling thousands of miles to Beijing.
So when Lei Li and Zhou Yi returned to the village in February, they did not see Miao Fulang and his wife.
Miao Fulang wrote a letter to Lei Li to inform him, and Lei Shengjiang also wrote a letter, but due to the time difference and coincidences, neither letter reached Lei Li. When he asked the villagers, he found out that they had left.
When Miao Fulang and Zhang Daqiang first arrived in Beijing, they both felt uncomfortable.
They were not used to the high prices here, the many rules here, the officials and wealthy businessmen everywhere on the streets, and the curfew also surprised them, as there was no curfew in other prefectures like Xiling.
Lei Li's identity as Marquis of Changning also frightened them.
Zhang Daqiang was fine, he was a tough guy and forgot about the matter after a few days.
Miao Fulang is more thoughtful and worried.
He is a boy who has never been welcomed at home since he was a child. The pain of his original family and the abuse from his husband made him always think the worst when encountering things.
Lei Li's status has become higher. His family and the Lei family were originally not a good match, and now the gap is even greater.
Mr. Miao was afraid that others would gossip about Miao Yurui, saying that Miao Yurui was not worthy of the Prince of Changning. He was also afraid that as time went by, Lei Shengjiang would dislike his own daughter Yurui's background and fall in love with someone else, wanting to marry a noble lady from a wealthy family.
Ordinary men from wealthy families have three wives and four concubines and cannot help but cheat on their wives, let alone a marquis’ son?
——After Lei Ligang solved the problem of Zhongchuan Escort Agency, the emperor approved his request for a title and made Lei Shengjiang the prince of Changning Marquisate.
The eldest son of the hereditary Marquis of Changning, who is of the highest rank.
When Lei Shengjiang inherits the title of marquis, he will also be the Marquis of Changning, a super-first-class person. Needless to say, his status is very noble.
Miao Fulang thought about it and was really worried, but Miao Yurui was pregnant at that time, and he didn't dare to show it, for fear of making Miao Yurui worried.
It was Miao Yurui who first discovered something was wrong.
"Daddy, I believe in ginger."
Miao Yurui said at the time, he gently stroked his bulging belly, his expression gentle,
"I've watched Jiang grow up and I know what kind of person he is. He won't do anything to let me down, nor will he fall in love with someone else."
"He always told me that I should be like Uncle Li and Uncle Yi, and stick together forever."
"if……"
"If Sheng Jiang really wants to be with someone else, I won't stop him. I have a child with him. Given Sheng Jiang's personality, he will treat me well for the rest of his life."
He understood his father's painstaking efforts.
Parents who love their children will plan for them in the long run. Dad is not doubting Jiang, but he wants the best for him, so he always worries and makes excessive assumptions.
He believed in Lei Shengjiang and wanted to spend the rest of his life with her, but he also understood that people's hearts were fickle. If Shengjiang really changed her mind and wanted to marry someone else, he would not blame her.
I am lucky to have it.
I lost my life.
After hearing this, Miao Fulang just sighed and didn't ask whether Lei Shengjiang would change his mind. Instead, he put all his energy into taking care of Miao Yurui.
——Later, Miao Fulang thought about it and felt that it was not certain that Lei Shengjiang would change his mind. What if, he meant what if, his Yurui didn’t want to live with Shengjiang anymore?
Miao Fulang felt that his daughter Yurui was not that kind of person, but he was always afraid of the worst. After thinking about it again and again, he decided to talk to Miao Yurui privately.
"If...if you don't want to live with Sheng Jiang anymore, but you can't bring yourself to tell Sheng Jiang, then tell Daddy, and Daddy will tell your Daddy Li."
Miao Yurui was at a loss whether to laugh or cry at that time.
But not long after that, when Miao Yurui was more than eight months old, he looked at himself in the mirror and saw that his face was covered with ugly spots, his body was bloated, his legs were swollen and thick, and he walked slowly.
He suddenly felt very sad and tears started to fall from his eyes.
Lei Shengjiang had just finished taking a shower and applied the ointment that Miao Yurui liked, making her whole body smell fragrant. She sniffed it and thought conceitedly that her brother would definitely like it and would definitely kiss him.
She returned to her room happily and was about to take her brother Xiaobao to sleep when she saw Miao Yurui crying softly. When she saw him, she cried even harder.
Lei Shengjiang was horrified.
Lei Shengjiang was panicked.
He hurriedly ran up and hugged Miao Yurui, gently stroked Miao Yurui's back, and whispered to coax Miao Yurui, but Miao Yurui just cried without saying a word, which scared him so much that he started crying too.
The two of them cried for a long time.
In the end, Miao Yurui looked at Lei Shengjiang with tears in her eyes. She thought Lei Shengjiang looked so pitiful and cute when he cried, and suddenly she burst out laughing.
Lei Shengjiang was completely confused by the laughter.
But it doesn’t matter, as long as Brother Xiaobao laughs, so he also laughs foolishly.
Seeing that Miao Yurui had calmed down, Lei Shengjiang carefully asked what happened and why he suddenly started crying, and whether he had done something wrong to make him unhappy.
Miao Yurui felt very embarrassed.
After hesitating for a while, he said intermittently, "...It's just that I have a lot of spots on my face. It's so ugly."
“Not ugly!”
Lei Shengjiang immediately said firmly, "Brother Xiaobao is not ugly at all. Brother Xiaobao is the best looking. If anyone says that brother is ugly, I will beat him to death!"
“No one…”
Miao Yurui was still embarrassed. "I just look in the mirror and feel...ugly. I don't know if it will go away after I have a baby."
“It can be eliminated!”
Lei Shengjiang immediately said, coaxing him along, "The doctor said it can be removed, it will definitely be removed. He is the most famous gynecologist in Kyoto. As long as you apply the ointment every day, there will be no spots after giving birth to a baby."
"Besides, even with the spots it's still beautiful, like a landscape painting. Here's a hill, here's a bird, and here's water flowing down from the mountains..."
Miao Yurui looked at himself in the mirror and thought, how can I see mountains and water? No matter how hard he looked, there were only spots.
But after Lei Shengjiang said this, he no longer thought the spots were ugly. Instead, he thought that they were because he was pregnant with Shengjiang's baby, and were proof of their love.
Miao Yurui's mood improved.
But thinking of his father's words, he couldn't help but ask Lei Shengjiang, "If the child is a girl or a boy, and I can't get pregnant later, you can... marry someone from a good family..."
Miao Yurui was also unwilling to share Lei Shengjiang with others, especially such a cute and good little husband, but he thought that the eldest son of Marquis Changning should have an heir, right?
There was no precedent for boys and girls in the Dayou Dynasty to inherit the title of nobility. They could become county lords or even be named princesses, but they could not become crown princes.
The hereditary rank is superior to the first rank.
What a noble title.
This was earned by Uncle Li and Uncle Yi. Now, one of them is in his forties and the other in his early fifties, and they still have to work hard outside. If the money is gone, Miao Yurui will always feel sorry for them.
The upper-class officials in Beijing had always looked down on the Changning Marquisate, thinking that they were a pheasant that had managed to turn into a phoenix by flying up a tree, and that they were all laughing at the Marquisate's joke.
If the title is cut off in the third generation and Miao Yurui's children also take the Miao surname, the Changning Marquisate will definitely become the biggest laughing stock in Beijing.
Zhou Zhou should be looking for a son-in-law, right?
If Zhou Zhou accepts a son-in-law and the child has the surname Lei, he will inherit the title, and Father Li's line of Marquis of Changning will not be cut off. If Zhou Zhou does not accept a son-in-law and marries out, will Sheng Jiang have to marry someone else?
Many people probably want to be the concubine of the Crown Prince of Changning.
Miao Yurui was having wild thoughts.
Lei Shengjiang was completely stunned when he heard his words.
