Zhulan saw that Xuemei's eyes were full of smiles, and she was going to talk about something happy. "What is it?"
Xuemei said with a cheerful tone: "Yesterday afternoon, I had lunch with Dong. Mom, the food was very spicy. The whole table was full of Sichuan dishes, but I barely ate a few bites and Dong thought it wasn't spicy enough!"
Zhulan understood that some pregnant women like to eat sour food, while others like spicy food. "Do you think Dong is pregnant?"
Xuemei nodded, "That should be it. When I was pregnant with Jiang Miao, I could eat spicy food, just like her."
Xuemei was really happy. If her mother had not said to consummate the marriage late, she would have been dissatisfied. Her third brother was already nineteen years old and should have become a father at this age.
Zhulan counted the days, her mouth twitching. Should she say Changlian and Dongshi were diligent? They were indeed fast enough. Zhulan thought of Changlian's oath and squinted her eyes, "It should be my daughter."
Xuemei was stunned for a moment. She was a son-loving person, but she thought it would be better to have a son first, at least he could support his sister. Thinking back to the time when her elder brother and second brother had always supported her, some bad boys didn't dare to bully her. However, looking at the way Dong was prepared to eat spicy food, she was really like her.
Xuemei: "I think so. Sometimes it's not accurate."
My second sister-in-law from my husband's family was pregnant and could eat spicy food, but she gave birth to a boy!
Zhulan, "Tell Xuehan later to ask the doctor to come over and take a look."
She didn't think that Dong didn't know. Dong had no experience, but the maid around her had experience. Zhulan estimated that the month was not yet complete and she was not sure, so she didn't call a doctor.
Xuemei responded, and then said, "Mom, you are about to leave your confinement period. We have been here for almost a month. We will return when you leave your confinement period."
My husband has made a lot of progress in this month, which is enough. They should not stay here any longer, as there is still land waiting for them in their hometown.
Zhulan was really reluctant to leave. Xuehan was busy with Wu Ning, Li was entangled with Minghui, Zhao had a maid who she had to keep an eye on all the time, and Dong was busy with her own family. In the past month, Xuemei was basically the one who accompanied her during the day.
As for the granddaughters, they are all learning the rules. Zhulan plans to find a master to teach Yushuang and Yulu music, chess, calligraphy and painting after they finish their confinement.
If you really count, no one in the Zhou family, from Zhou Shuren to Mingrui, is idle.
Xuemei saw that her mother didn't say anything, and knew that her mother couldn't bear to leave her, so she smiled and said, "This time it's closer, I'll come in winter."
It's a good opportunity for my daughter to learn more. My husband has no ambition, but my son does. My daughter has a grandfather and a reliable brother, so she can still marry a good person. There's no harm in learning more.
As for the twins, Xuemei sighed in her heart. The twins looked too similar. This was not good. It was not good for the twins' future. It would be better if they did not look alike.
So the husband's whole mind is on his eldest son Jiang Du.
Zhulan smiled and said, "It's settled then."
Zhulan waited for Xuemei to go out, and asked Mrs. Song to bring paper and pen, and quickly wrote down the things to prepare for her daughter. It is indeed beneficial to be close to Pinggang, as there is no shortage of people who like to gossip.
An hour later, Mrs. Dong came in person. She blushed and said shyly, "Mother."
Zhulan smiled, "How long?"
Dong lowered her head, "Almost two months."
Dong had never felt so at ease in her heart. The corners of her mouth could not help but curl up. Before the marriage consummation, she thought about having a child. After the marriage consummation, she was afraid that she would not be able to get pregnant. She kept scaring herself about what to do if she could not get pregnant in a few years. Fortunately, she was broken.
Zhu Lan looked at Mrs. Dong's joyful expression and kept silent. Well, this age was normal in ancient times, so she must keep Xue Han for a few more years. "Tell the kitchen what you want to eat. You are pregnant, and the monthly food allowance for your third room will be doubled."
Mrs. Dong smiled sweetly, "Thank you, mother."
Zhulan smiled and said, "You are the only one who will enjoy this treatment this year. In the future, all pregnant women in your family will receive this treatment."
Zhulan's mouth twitched as she finished speaking. The eldest couple didn't plan to have children anymore. Zhao was injured, and it seemed that Dong would be the main force in the future!
In the evening, Chang Lian found out that he was going to be a father and he was so excited. He was nineteen years old and most of the people his age were already fathers, so now he was going to be a father too.
When Zhulan heard Chang Lian say that my son is very promising, she was speechless. She said, "Let's talk about it after the baby is born. What if it's a girl?"
The full-moon banquet was held the next day. Zhulan was fumigated and washed. The fumigation medicine was prescribed by Mrs. Song. Zhulan felt that Chinese medicine was amazing. Zhulan's belly had shrunk a lot, but she was still fat, with a lot of fat in her belly. No, it should be said that there was still a lot of fat on her body. In order to ensure her son had enough milk, her diet had been very nutritious for a month.
Fortunately, her family was not short in ancient times, so although she was a little fat, she didn't look ugly. On the contrary, her skin became better.
There are so many people coming today. Almost all the officials from Jinzhou are here. Zhulan came out first.
Liu smiled and said, "Sister, let us see the young master quickly."
This is the name given by the emperor. Although the name is not very nice, it is also glorious.
Zhulan knew that these ladies all wanted to see their son, and it was useless for her to stop them. She gestured to Mrs. Song to bring the child over, and Zhulan took the child.
Liu had already walked forward and looked at the little one carefully. She was named in front of the emperor at just one month old. How enviable! As long as the child didn't grow up ugly, he would have a promising future. He looked good too. Liu thought that it was fortunate that Yang looked good, otherwise she would look like Lord Zhou, and the emperor would have given her a name in vain.
After taking a few glances, Liu sat back in her seat. Qi came forward and glared at Liu. They were both wives of third-rank officials, so why did Liu sit in the front row? "Liu Shuren should really take a closer look. The birth of this child was also related to Liu Shuren!"
