Cheng Chi laughed when he heard this, hugged her lovingly, and said, "You are talking nonsense again! When did I say I didn't like you? Just keep accusing me!"
As he spoke, a warm feeling surged in his heart.
Shao Jin, now knows how to act coquettishly with him and dares to be willful in front of him!
Cheng Chi rested his chin on Zhou Shaojin's head and said with emotion, "Silly girl, how old are you? How old am I? Others' sons at my age are already talking about wives, but I don't even know where mine is. Do you think I want one? Do you look forward to it?"
Zhou Shaojin blushed slightly, thinking about the fact that he didn't want to have a child before.
Cheng Chi smiled and said, "If you were a few years older, would I have to make you hate me?"
Zhou Shaojin knew Cheng Chi's intention, of course. He just wanted to hear Cheng Chi coaxing him, so he said that to Cheng Chi. Now when he heard Cheng Chi say "hate" and "don't hate", he felt wronged and pouted unhappily, "When did I hate you? You are wronging me!"
Cheng Chi laughed out loud.
The two of them argued there for a long time before they rested down with great anticipation, and asked a doctor to take their pulse early the next morning.
The doctor diagnosed that the baby was pregnant.
Cheng Chi and Zhou Shaojin are going to become parents in early May next year!
Zhou Shaojin cried with joy.
After living two lives, I finally had a child in my twenties.
This time she will definitely protect him well!
Watch him grow up, accompany him to study, watch him get married or get married!
She threw herself into Cheng Chi's arms and burst into tears.
Cheng Chi was surprised.
Shaojin is so young, but she really wants to be a mother.
Girls her age are usually a little scared of becoming mothers.
Although she had often said this in front of him before, he had never expected Zhou Shaojin to be so eager for it.
Thinking of this, Cheng Chi's heart moved.
Could it be that the little girl is hiding something from him
A gleam of snow flashed in his eyes.
But no matter what, Shao Jin now has a child and he is going to be a father, which is still quite happy.
Cheng Chi immediately sent someone to deliver a letter to Mrs. Guo.
In less than half an hour, Mrs. Guo hurried over.
Mrs. Qiu, who had accompanied her, was extremely anxious and kept telling Mrs. Guo, "Slow down! Slow down!"
Mrs. Guo could not hide her excitement. She ignored what Qiu said and walked faster and faster.
Qiu stamped her feet.
Mrs. Guo didn't wait for the maid on duty to report, she just lifted the curtain and walked in.
Zhou Shaojin heard people say that accidents are most likely to happen when a woman is just pregnant. Now that she is pregnant, she has to be careful. After her husband leaves, she lies down as she pleases.
Seeing her tired face, Cheng Chi was heartbroken when he thought about how she had given birth to many children at such a young age. He naturally obeyed Zhou Shaojin in everything. Not to mention that she just wanted to rest, even if she wanted to eat dragon liver and phoenix gall, he would find a way to get it for her. So when he saw Zhou Shaojin wanted to take a nap, he not only did not object, but also brought a brocade stool to the bedside, held her hand, and accompanied her.
Although it's a little bit greasy, it also makes people feel sweet.
Zhou Shaojin put his cheek on Cheng Chi's hand... Then the curtain of the inner room was lifted, and Madam Guo rushed in.
She was startled.
But before she could get up, Madam Guo quickly walked to the bed and said with a smile, "Good child, I know you are uncomfortable, don't get up to entertain me. I am not a stranger. You should take good care of yourself now. Don't try to be polite to me." As she spoke, she caught a glimpse of Qiu and spoke for her, "Your second sister-in-law is a serious person, she won't blame you for not welcoming her, you just need to lie down well."
Zhou Shaojin felt fine, just a little sleepy.
Mrs. Guo came out so suddenly that even if she was a little sleepy, she was driven away.
She sat up anyway.
But Mrs. Guo pushed her into the quilt and told her to "be obedient."
Is this her mother-in-law who never gives in even in front of Cheng Xu, the ancestor of the second house
Qiu was a little stunned.
Madam Guo has already asked Cheng Chi: "What did the doctor say? How is your pulse? Is there anything taboo? Have you asked the master from Qingxu Temple to check the five elements? Did you vomit when you woke up this morning? What did you eat for breakfast just now? Did you eat well? Was it delicious? Do you have anything you particularly like to eat?"
A series of questions came down, and even Cheng Chi had to calm himself down before starting to answer.
Knowing that Zhou Shaojin had no other abnormalities except wanting to sleep, Old Madam Guo was very happy and said, "Shaojin is most likely a good fertile woman. She can have more children in the future! Unlike your second sister-in-law, she vomited everything she ate as soon as the baby was born, and she kept making a fuss until the seventh or eighth month, when she was exhausted..." Let alone giving birth to a child.
She almost died when she gave birth to Cheng Rang and Cheng Sheng.
Qiu naturally wondered who her mother-in-law was talking about. She blushed and couldn't help but say in her heart: The old lady is so eager to have more children. She doesn't even know where the fourth sister-in-law's child is, but she is thinking about having more children in the future...
Cheng Chi stood up and gave the brocade stool to Mrs. Guo.
Mrs. Qiu smiled and walked over to Zhou Shaojin's bedside, saying softly, "You should take a good rest. My mother-in-law just discussed with me and asked me to stay with her for the next few days. You will have someone to take care of you..."
"How can this be possible?" Zhou Shaojin refused repeatedly, "My brother is getting married soon, and you have a lot of things to do. How can you leave your family affairs behind to take care of me?"
But just as she finished speaking, Mrs. Guo smiled and said, "We have almost discussed the major issues, so let the steward come here to give instructions on the minor issues. Don't worry about this matter. It was my idea to let your second sister-in-law come here. You are young and don't understand. I am old and can't always stick to the old calendar. You have to make the final decision. Your second sister-in-law is very suitable - she has been in the capital for so many years, and she is familiar with it. If there is any matter, there will be someone who can run errands in the outer courtyard or the inner courtyard..."
Seeing that Mrs. Guo was determined, Cheng Chi and Zhou Shaojin guessed that the matter had probably been discussed with Mrs. Qiu, and it would be inappropriate for them to refuse further.
"Okay!" Cheng Chi agreed readily and said to Qiu respectfully, "Thank you for your help these days!"
"No trouble, no trouble." Qiu was valued by her brother-in-law, and her eyes and eyebrows were full of joy. She joked, "My sister-in-law is young, and this is what I should do. Don't take it to heart. It makes me feel so helpless! Besides, mother helped me a lot after she went there, otherwise my brother's marriage would not have been so smooth. Mother is a flesh and blood, and now she is worried about my fourth uncle in her hometown. How can I not come to help?"
Zhou Shaojin and Cheng Chi both knew that she was a down-to-earth person, so they stopped talking and hurriedly ordered the maids to clean up the guest room and prepare for Qiu to move in.
Madam Guo said, "Let her live with me in the east wing of the main courtyard. If anything happens, we can go find a doctor!"
Zhou Shaojin had no choice but to order the east wing of the main courtyard to be cleaned up, and sent someone to tell Madam Lu and others to return Madam Guo's boxes and help Qiu pack her luggage.
Madam Guo discussed with Cheng Chi about going to Qingxu Temple to invite a Taoist priest: "… She is pregnant, so don't let anyone barge in! What if she gets frightened? I am heartbroken even if you are not!"
Cheng Chi drew inferences from what he had learned and immediately agreed to go to Qingxu Temple to ask for help.
Zhou Shaojin took this opportunity to express his concern to Mrs. Qiu: "Sister-in-law, why don't you arrange your family affairs before coming over? I will be fine in a few days, and then you can go back and stay for a while."
Mrs. Qiu understood her intentions and smiled, "It's okay. My house is small, and your second uncle is not at home. It's just trivial matters, so it's okay for me not to go back. But you are pregnant at such a young age, you have to be careful. I will come with mother to take care of you for a few days, and I will feel more at ease."
Zhou Shaojin thanked him repeatedly.
When the boxes and crates of Mrs. Guo and Mrs. Qiu were delivered, the Taoist priest from Qingxu Temple also arrived.
He looked around the house, calculated with his fingers for a long time, and said that Zhou Shaojin had all five elements except for a little wood, so he just needed to put a piece of chicken wing wood under the bed.
However, Cheng Chi first sent an experienced nanny to inform Xinglin Hutong and Cheng Wen that Zhou Shaojin was pregnant and there were many taboos. She was asked to inform them after Zhou Shaojin gave birth to the child. Then he sent someone to open the warehouse to find a piece of chicken wing wood.
After receiving the letter, Yuan was so angry that she couldn't speak for a long time. When she spoke, her voice trembled: "What does this mean, Fourth Brother? Is he afraid that we will go to see Zhou Shaojin? Is our family the scourge?"
She slammed the letter on the table.
Min Jia felt uncomfortable after hearing this and frowned.
Yuan's gaze fell on Min Jia with a "slurp".
Min Jia has been married for more than half a year, Zhou Shaojin is pregnant, but Min Jia has not made any move...
Yuan temporarily forgot about the letter from Chaoyang Gate and started thinking about Min Jia.
But when Min Jia saw her mother-in-law making such a loud and quiet fuss, she felt relieved.
If we can really avoid going to Chaoyang Gate, it would be nice to avoid Zhou Shaojin.
She didn't know what happened between Zhou Shaojin and Cheng Xu before, so she could be justified. But now that she knows, if she is asked to pretend to know nothing and treat Zhou Shaojin calmly, she will not be as shameless as Yuan Shi...
When Wu Baozhang received the letter, he was stunned for a moment and then threw the letter into a corner.
She was in hell during this period.
Just as she worried, Cheng Lu was completely ruined and became a scoundrel.
He took twenty taels of silver from her with peace of mind, and after extorting two hundred taels of silver from her, he now made a new request to her, asking her to find a way to raise another three hundred taels of silver for him, so that he could change his name and take the imperial examination again.
Before going to Jinling City, Wu Baozhang grew up in the fields of his hometown Mianyang, and had seen such idlers and scoundrels before. They had no manners or integrity, just like leeches, once they get close to you, they won't stop until they have sucked all your blood.
She wants to go back to Jinling!
I have to go back to Jinling no matter what!
She couldn't stay here and die!
But how could she return to Jinling
Wu Baozhang walked around the room, called her personal maid, and gave her twenty taels of silver.
