Chapter 123 Chapter 123

A few months after Yan Jingzhao came back, Li was pregnant again. Yaoniang sent some supplements to her. She had a lot of social events now, and her husband was considered a close minister to the emperor, so there were a lot of banquets. Shen Linfeng sometimes had to go separately with her, you go to one house and I go to another.

Today is the wedding day of the youngest son of Wang Shijiang, a scholar in the Hanlin Academy. Yao Niang arrived with gifts near dinner time and returned directly after the banquet.

When she met someone from Qingyi Garden at the gate, she heard that Lu Shan'er was about to give birth, so she went to visit the third room. Grandma Qing was inviting Grandma Wen to drink chicken soup and say, "You two must help our wife deliver the baby."

"Don't worry, we will definitely do it." The middle-aged women agreed without hesitation.

When Qingda's grandmother saw Yaoniang coming, she arranged for her to sit down again. "It has just started, and it will take a while before she dies."

Yao Niang smiled and said, "I just came to take a look. I saw that you were almost always by my side. It is a blessing for the Third House to have a daughter-in-law like you."

"Da Lang's wife, you are making fun of me too." Grandma Qing thought to herself that it would be great if she had a son. Her mother-in-law gave birth to only one son, and so did everyone else. Even Han Ruohua felt nauseous when she heard about it, as if she had symptoms of morning sickness. But she had nothing.

"I'm not making fun of you, I'm clearly praising you. Since you're here, I'll go back first. If you have any problems, just send someone to find me in the main room." Yao Niang said and was about to leave.

Grandma Qingda didn't want to keep her, so she asked Yao Niang to take a piece of fructose over, saying that she had bought it yesterday and hadn't used it yet.

After coming out of the Qingyi Garden, Zi Teng said, "Grandma, I see that Grandma is better than Second Grandma Jiang and Third Grandma Yun. Last time when our brother was born, the gift she gave was more valuable than the other two."

"If you can stand on your own in this house, why bother forming cliques? The way she treats me only shows that she sees things better than Shaw and is a smart person. It doesn't mean that she is a sincere person." Yao Niang knew them very well.

Besides, there are too many brothers in the third house, and there will be more trouble in the future. Lu Shan'er feels different this time. She eats and drinks well and enjoys herself a lot. On the surface, she seems to have come to terms with it, but in fact, no one knows what she is plotting in secret.

After returning home and changing her clothes, Yao Niang began to take care of the housework. In a family, there are at least 10 to 20 things, big and small, and someone has to make decisions for them.

After the treatment, Yao Niang asked the wet nurse to bring the children back. This year, she is 20 years old, and Fu Jie'er is 3 years old. When the children were younger, they looked different every month. Now that they have grown up, especially Fu Jie'er, who has been well fed since she was a child, she looks like a child of 5 or 6 years old when she goes out. Normally, even a small child cannot push her.

"Mom, I will get up early next time to go out with you." Sister Fu muttered.

It turned out that Yao Niang was going to take her to the banquet, but she didn't know that she couldn't get up. Yao Niang felt sorry for the child, so she let her rest more. I didn't expect that Fu Jie'er still remembered it!

"Okay, next time you have to be able to get up early. We'll go home to visit your aunt in a few days." Yao Niang smiled.

In fact, she is now reluctant to take her daughter back to her parents' home. It seems that her sister-in-law wants to strengthen the relationship, which is of course a good thing for the adults, and even Yan Yingqi is happy to see it happen.

But Yao Niang cannot be so selfish as to decide her daughter's future life, especially marriage. Husband and wife must like each other. Just like Yu and Yan Jingzhang's cousins ​​getting married, what's wrong? Yu disliked Yan Jingzhang so much.

If we wait until she grows up and both sides have the signs, we can naturally promote it. After all, she is too young now.

"Grandma, I just went to the Yan family on your orders, and saw the second lady's car at the door." Brother Xiao Qing said.

Yao Niang knew Qian Niang very well. She had once tried to curry favor with Yan Ningxin, and would take advantage of anyone who offered her an advantage. Now that she had seen the decline of the eldest wife's family, she began to interact frequently with the Li family, even more than she did with her own sister.

But these were not things Yao Niang could control: "Let her be."

Qianniang was of course with Li, she only had this one daughter, so she had to plan a lot for her. It happened that she heard Yan Jingzhao talking about the arranged marriage between Yan and Shen families at the wine table, and heard that Shen Linfeng and Yaoniang did not agree, and Yan Jingzhao did not mention it again. This couple was really crazy, and even her nephew looked down on them.

They don't want it, but I must have it, or at least fight for it.

"Sister-in-law, you are pregnant now. If you give birth to a daughter, then you will have both a son and a daughter. However, I think you have the standard appearance of a boy, so I am afraid it will be a son again."

Li touched her belly and said, "Everything is fine." She was no longer stressed and her husband was back by her side, but he was vindictive. Last time the Guan family framed him, he was also ruthless. The cousin of Guan Daxueshi was an official, and he, as a censor, collected evidence and wanted to impeach him directly.

No matter how she tried to persuade him, Shen Linfeng still held back and could still listen to what Shen's brother-in-law said.

Yan Jingzhao was indeed an able official. When he was sent to serve in remote areas, he cracked down on the powerful, arrested bandits, built bridges and roads, and even achieved remarkable political achievements wherever he went. But his personality was just like that. He couldn't sleep well at night unless he took revenge on the past.

Li also experienced family changes. Her father was an official in the Ministry of Revenue at the time, and he was dismissed from office just like that. To be a good official, ability is one thing, but the most important thing is to be an official.

Being an official requires first being a good person, and this is what she observes Shen Linfeng to be like.

Seeing Li lost in thought, Qianniang could not help but say, "I really envy you, sister-in-law. I only have my brother's daughter now, and I always feel sorry for the Wen family. I'm afraid that one day when I'm gone, my sister won't know what to do..."

Li felt sorry for Qianniang. She and her husband had only one daughter, who was very well-behaved and sensible. Run'er and Qianniang's daughter Moli'er played better together, but Ruofu, the daughter of Yaoniang's family, had a worse temper. She ran very fast, had great strength, and had a good memory. Her son was also a little bully at home, so the two could not play together.

"Take it easy. You are not very old and there is still a chance. Look, your third sister gave birth several years after she got married, and it took another year for the baby to bear fruit." Li tried to comfort Qianniang.

Qianniang nodded with a smile: "My sister-in-law's words make me feel much better."

In fact, Li knew very well what Qianniang meant, but she had no say in family affairs. Her husband was the one who made the decisions. She couldn't decide who her child would be engaged to in the future, so she had to pretend to be deaf and dumb.
