Chapter 101 Chapter 101

When she was four months pregnant, Yao Niang's morning sickness disappeared and her appetite increased. She used to be unable to finish a full bowl of rice, but now she eats two bowls of rice at noon and a bowl of noodles with half a cake at night.

Just at this time she received a letter from Mrs. Xie. Since she became pregnant, Yao Niang had been writing letters back to Jinling. Mrs. Xie was very experienced and wrote a lot of letters.

The mother first said that she was happy, and then the first thing she wanted to say was that Yao Niang must be careful not to eat and drink too much just because she was pregnant, otherwise her belly would get too big, and the baby would be difficult to give birth to, or even have a dystocia.

In addition, you still need to control your diet and not be greedy or eat overly spicy food, otherwise you will easily get hemorrhoids.

Yao Niang wrote down every single one of them. She thought that there were so many tricks to getting pregnant. So, Yao Niang asked her grandfather Xiao Qing to go to the bookstore and buy some medical books on gynecology and pregnancy for them to read.

She also found out that during pregnancy, except for the first three months and the last three months, you can have sex during the remaining months as long as it is not too intense.

Oh my God, it is actually possible to do this, but she can't do this.

When Shen Linfeng came back, she showed him this page: "Look."

Shen Linfeng has been busy these days, and occasionally when he gets excited, he solves the problem himself. He didn't expect it to be like this. He glanced at Yao Niang, and Yao Niang said, "We should be more careful. If something goes wrong, it will be more painful than it is worth."

"Yes, yes, my lady is right." Shen Linfeng secretly cursed himself in his heart for being worse than a beast and actually thinking about it.

Yao Niang was naturally teasing him, and seeing that he was upset, she couldn't help but laugh secretly.

During the months since she became pregnant, Shen Linfeng really seemed to be pure and unselfish. As the saying goes, food, sex and nature are all part of human nature. She also thought about finding a concubine for him. However, she quickly rejected the idea. If Shen Linfeng was used by someone else, she would not want him. Besides, a concubine could not get pregnant for the time being. The Shen family did not allow maids to give birth to children and have them recorded in the family tree unless there was really no one left in the family. Doing so would harm both herself and others.

Now that she is pregnant, it would be nice for them to relieve some of the pain.

She whispered a lot of things in Shen Linfeng's ear, and Shen Linfeng blushed and said shyly: "Madam, are you really willing? I don't want you to do this."

"What are you talking about? We are husband and wife. I love you so much and you never dislike me even when I'm not nice to you." Yao Niang said softly.

Shen Linfeng was a little overwhelmed: "Madam, you treat me so well."

Not to mention how the couple went last night, when Yao Niang woke up the next day, she specially asked a doctor to come and check her pulse. She was relieved to find that she was fine.

She also said that when Grandma Qing had a miscarriage, her cousin, Mrs. Fan, had sent a lot of supplements and had sent people to visit her several times. Now that she was in good health, she took a carriage to the Fan family.

The Fan family was the new Zuodu Yushi, and could be considered a new noble in the court. When Grandma Qing came, she felt that the house was crowded with people. Fortunately, she was also the daughter-in-law of the Henan governor, the daughter-in-law of the Shen family, and a relative of Madam Fan. After letting someone pass the word, Madam Fan actually came in person.

"Cousin aunt, I'm afraid you'll blame me for being late, so I've prepared some small gifts. I hope you won't mind." Grandma Qing said.

Mrs. Fan smiled and said, "Why are you being so polite to me? Your mother was such a kindhearted person when she was alive. When I got married, she knew that my family was poor, so she specially gave me six sets of dowry to make me look good. Now I see that you look exactly like your mother."

Grandma Qing thought to herself that when my mother was alive, I didn't see you go out much either. You just looked down on my father because he was a commoner. Now you are so attentive, it's just for your cousin. But she still smiled and said, "My cousin is too kind. I am not as good as my mother."

The two of them walked in arm in arm, and Mrs. Fan asked her daughter-in-law to call her daughter over: "Send Hui Niang over to meet her cousin."

Fan Ruhui was not a woman who loved many countries or cities, but she was a woman of elegance and refinement. When Grandma Qing saw her, she thought of her experience and felt quite sympathetic.

"cousin."

Fan Ruhui glanced at Grandma Qing and called out with a smile, "Cousin."

After the two of them exchanged greetings, they began to exchange pleasantries. When talking about herself, Grandma Qing smiled bitterly and said, "I am not feeling well right now, but I still have to take care of the family and congratulate others on their pregnancy."

Mrs. Fan burst into tears when she heard this: "If your mother were still alive, she would never have seen you like this."

Grandma Qing's mother died the year she got married. She got married in Rexiaoli. At that time, her grandfather was the minister of the Ministry of War, so they got married. However, after she got married successfully, her grandfather died not long after. In office. Her sisters were not as lucky as she was. The next generation of the Wang family, such as her father, was currently working as a local official relying on his grandfather Yu Yin. Even her uncle's career was not going well.

Therefore, when Grandma Qingda thought of her mother, she also cried.

The two of them were crying, but Fan Ruhui didn't care. In order to marry into the Shen family, her cousin from the Wang family married with great care. She didn't really care about her own mother. She was thinking about her own marriage. But for women, marriage is the most important thing for them in the palace. Finding a husband is like reincarnation.

Reincarnation can only guarantee the first ten years of one's life, but if one finds a good husband, one will have a place to live for the rest of his life.

I'm afraid the same is true for me.

Today, the grandma of Qing came over, and the wife of Zuodu Yushi personally received her. It was impossible that she was just reminiscing about the past. Madam Fan asked someone to serve tea, and then said, "Recently, I heard that your eldest relative, Minister Yan, was reported to the court several times because of his involvement in the Wei case. Although our master is in charge of Yushitai and can still say a few words, he dare not help him."

Grandma Qingda wondered what her aunt was trying to do.

When people in this world want to do favors for others, they must ask for something in return. The Fan family and the Yan family have never had any friendship, but my aunt offered to help. What exactly did she want to do?

"Aunt, our third branch also separated last year. I don't know much about the first branch." Grandma Qing knew her own limitations. She only dared to provoke Shao with words, and that was because Shao looked good. In fact, she only relied on her brother and uncle, and her parents were just ordinary country gentlemen.

Besides, that was an internal matter between the sisters-in-law. If the Fan family wanted to use her to do something to harm the Shen family, she would definitely not do it. Moreover, she was not very clear about such important state affairs.

Then Mrs. Fan laughed and said, "I heard that Shen Hanlin's marriage was difficult. How could this be? I remember that my family and her father once worked together in the Dali Temple. Later, my family was sent to a distant place, and I don't know much about the things that happened in the capital."

Grandma Qing said, "Originally, Dalang was engaged to the eldest daughter of Minister Yan. The eldest daughter of the Yan family was born into a noble family, and her mother was the daughter of the King of Qi. Unfortunately, she was threatened and ran away from the marriage. Our family and the Yan family had been at odds for a long time. But later, Miss Yan went to Kaifeng to visit her grandfather, and somehow she met Dalang again. It was as if Dalang was under a spell. He never disobeyed my aunt, but he knelt down and begged for my aunt's consent, desperately."

Mrs. Fan suddenly felt that the situation was a little tricky, so she asked again: "So, Shen Linfeng's new wife must be very beautiful?"

"It's okay." said Qingda's grandmother.

Generally speaking, when a woman cannot deny that the other person is beautiful and can barely admit that the other person is okay, then the other person must be a great beauty.

"Minister Yan has offended too many people in the court. It would be better if Assistant Minister Wen remained in office, after all, the two families are in-laws. But if Assistant Minister Wen is gone, the old minister may find it difficult to succeed him in the court. By then, the Yan family may..." Mrs. Fan's implication was very clear.

Grandma Qing has heard clearly what Madam Fan meant. Shen Linfeng is young and a student of Zhao Ci Fu. After Wen Shou Fu retires, Zhao Ci Fu is very likely to be promoted to Shou Fu. Now Emperor Qianyuan is more favorable to Zhao Ci Fu than Wen Shou Fu, so the implication of her cousin's mother is that Yan Shi is about to die.

However, she smiled and said, "Aunt, you don't know that she is pregnant now, so it won't affect anything."

A big family like the Shen family would not divorce a wife at will. If a wife were to be divorced just because her family fell into poverty, she would have been divorced long ago. This is too absurd.

Mrs. Fan glanced at her daughter and was about to say something when she saw Fan Ruhui accidentally spilled the hot tea, all over Grandma Qingda, who felt cold.

The conversation came to an abrupt end. Fortunately, wealthy families would always carry a bag with them when they went out, which would contain some simple changes of clothes. Grandma Qing went downstairs to change her clothes, leaving Mrs. Fan and her daughter behind.

Fan Ruhui looked at her mother and said angrily, "Mom, what on earth do you want to do?"

"What do I want to do? Everything I do now is for your own good. Your father always wants to marry you off to someone with some talent but whose family background has long been ruined. I won't accept that." Mrs. Fan felt very painful in her heart.

Fan Ruhui said, "Mother, you betrothed me to my father Shangguan's son, but he wanted to get rid of us after he got promoted. He either asked for a huge dowry or deliberately ruined my daughter's reputation. He almost framed her for adultery. Later, the marriage was finally called off. I fell in love with Mr. Cao, and we decided to spend our lives together. Unfortunately, he was a coward, and I didn't regret it and went after him. But now, my father said that Zhou Lingguang is talented. Although I don't like him very much, I haven't thought about stealing his husband."

"What do you know? Shen Linfeng is a decent man with great talent. In less than three years, as long as Zhao Cifu climbs up, he will rise to the top. If you marry him, you may become the prime minister's wife. Moreover, the Wuxing Shen family is very rich. Mother is doing everything for your own good. We are officials from other provinces who came to Beijing. The prefect Fang was a student of Gong Cifu in the past. He accepted the money and gold from others and even asked them to sleep with his wife. Fortunately, This person was directly sued by Minister Yan and was brought down. There are so many dirty things in the officialdom. Do you think you can live a smooth life from now on by marrying down? No, it won't. As long as you endure the criticism for a while, who will remember anything in three or five years? Just like this Yan family, sisters can easily marry, but how many people still remember it? "Mrs. Fan used to be very noble, but nobility can make a living. People can't always think about the future, but look at what they can really get.

Zhou Lingguang may have a future, but why should his daughter endure hardships with him? Isn't it better for Shen Linfeng, who is already here, to enjoy life better?

At the same time, in exchange, she would also ask her husband to say a few words for Yan Mai. This was better than being besieged by everyone, being defeated in the capital, and losing his reputation in his later years.
