Tang Cheng's words destroyed most of Wen Huaian's excitement and joy, leaving him in a state of confusion.
In fact, it’s not Tang Cheng’s fault. Neither Tang Cheng nor the original owner had ever seen a newborn baby.
Tang Cheng is the youngest in Nanyang Marquis's Mansion. His eldest brother Tang Yuanqing, born by marriage, and his second brother Tang Yuanming, born by concubine, are busy taking the imperial examinations and have not yet married. Concubines are not allowed to give birth to children before the wife enters the house, so Tang Cheng has never seen a newborn baby.
Speaking of Tang Cheng's two elder brothers, they both took part in this year's autumn examination. The eldest brother, who was born to the legitimate wife, passed the examination and ranked high, while the second brother, who was born to the illegitimate wife, passed the examination and became a scholar.
My eldest brother will take part in the imperial examination next year and is studying in the academy, hoping to pass the exam and get married.
Tang Cheng even sent a gift at that time.
The nanny next to her smiled and said, "Madam, all newborns are like this. They will be fine in two days. The young master already looks very good. I have seen a very handsome couple. Their child was born with swollen eyes and a black body. He was very ugly, but he grew up and became very beautiful."
Tang Cheng felt relieved now.
There is no harm without comparison.
It turned out that her child was quite good-looking. The more Tang Cheng looked at her ugly son, the more he liked her and she couldn't help laughing with joy.
"After hearing what Madam said, I feel much more relieved."
"Wen Huaian, we need to prepare for the third-day bath ceremony quickly and send out more invitations."
This is a great opportunity to receive gifts.
Can't be missed.
Wen Huaian looked at Tang Cheng's sparkling eyes and knew what she was thinking, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.
"I have already asked Tang Ping to do it. He must hold a grand baptism ceremony for our child."
Tang Cheng felt that Wen Huaian was really considerate.
The two new parents felt very satisfied when they saw their son sleeping soundly in his cradle.
At this time, Pearl came in with a bowl of chicken soup in her hand.
"Master, Miss, the Duke is back and wants to see the young master."
Wen Huaian couldn't bear to part with his son: "I'll take him out to show him to my father."
Tang Cheng said yes, and reluctantly watched Wen Huaian take the child out of the delivery room.
The Duke of Zhenguo in the outer room looked at the child in his son's arms, his eyes full of excitement and joy.
Tang Si is a lucky man.
His grandson is so handsome, his features and eyebrows look just like his son.
The Duke of Zhenguo thought of what his son had told him about the reward for Tang Si if he had a baby, and he waved his hand.
"Tang Si has done a great job in giving birth to a son, he deserves a generous reward!"
Wen Huaian raised the corner of his mouth: "Tang Cheng will definitely be very happy to know this good news."
There was a smile in the Duke Zhenguo's eyes.
Just be happy. Only with a generous reward will there be motivation. Tang Si, a money-loving man, will definitely work hard to expand the Wen family.
Tang Cheng was indeed very happy when she heard the news, and she clenched her fists.
"I will try my best to have a baby."
Wen Huaian's mouth twitched: "..."
Work hard to have kids and get rich
…
Prince Wen was delighted to have a son to carry on his family's legacy, and the news that the Duke of Zhenguo generously rewarded his daughter-in-law with half of the Duke's Mansion's assets spread quickly. In less than half a day, it had spread throughout the capital. Everyone was shocked by the Duke of Zhenguo's generosity and had mixed reactions.
Without exception, everyone envied and was jealous of Tang Cheng's good fortune.
Marquis Nanyang was quite pleased with his father-in-law's generosity and thought this was a good marriage.
Su Jingxing and Qi Changxiu were very happy that Wen Huaian had a successor, and happily prepared gifts.
This time, Liu Jintong was so angry that she vomited blood. She looked at the bloodstains in her handkerchief and slumped in the chair with a blank face and a feeling of powerlessness all over her body.
In fact, Liu Jintong didn't want to just stare at Tang Cheng, but she couldn't control herself. The more successful Tang Cheng became, the harder it was for her to let it go.
She is obviously God's favorite.
The semi-finished property of the Zhenguogong Mansion...
Whenever Liu Jintong thought of this, his eyes turned red with jealousy.
How come Tang Cheng, this spoiled and brainless concubine, lives such a good life
Liu Jintong was not the only one who had this idea. Most married or unmarried women were jealous.
Tang Si received a generous reward from the Duke of Zhenguo for having a son. It was their duty to have a child. If the mother-in-law was nice, she would even reward him with some nourishing medicinal herbs, fine fabrics, and jewelry.
Husband’s family property
Don’t think about it!
Wen Family Second House
Chen almost bit her white teeth to pieces, her eyes full of gloom and anger.
Not only was Tang Si cautious and did not use the four midwives in the mansion, but he also unexpectedly had a son in one go.
After planning for so long, the plan to adopt his grandson to inherit the title of Duke of Zhenguo failed.
Her husband was a loser, still a fifth-rank official at his old age, not to mention her son, who only got a seventh-rank honorary position.
Otherwise, Chen would not have set his sights on the title of Duke of Zhenguo and his huge family business.
When Chen thought about the fact that Tang Si had obtained half of the Duke's Mansion's assets, she almost went crazy. In her opinion, all these assets belonged to her grandson.
Chen was very unwilling.
But what can he do even if he is unwilling? The Duke of Zhenguo's only legitimate grandson will definitely be protected as closely as he protected Prince Wen.
This matter requires careful planning.
The atmosphere in the third and fourth branches of the Wen family was also very bad, but they were not as obsessed with it as the second branch. Now that the Zhenguo Mansion had an heir to inherit, they gave up their original plan.
Not to mention the Empress Dowager who was far away in the temple. Even though she was worshiping Buddha, she was secretly making small moves against Tang Cheng.
The four midwives in the mansion are actually the Queen Mother's people.
Wen Huaian did not find out the truth and thought the midwife had not been bribed.
Unexpectedly, Tang Cheng did not play by the rules, and none of the four midwives were of any use.
The Queen Mother's plan failed.
Tang Cheng gave birth to the Duke of Zhenguo's grandson smoothly, and the empress dowager got so angry that she fell ill.
Tang Cheng didn't know all this.
The Duke's wife returned home the day after Tang Cheng gave birth to the child.
As soon as he came back, he took over the arrangements for his grandson's third-day baptism ceremony.
Tang Cheng...
Tang Cheng had an easy confinement period, eating well, drinking well and hugging her son every day.
Of course, she also had worries because Wen Huaian did not allow her to attend his son's baptism ceremony.
"Wen Huaian, I'm in good health, why can't I participate in the baptism ceremony?"
Tang Cheng was very unhappy. She was full of energy and vitality, so how could she not be affected by a little breeze? And she still wanted to show off her son.
Who knows—
Wen Huaian actually didn't plan for her to attend.
"I know you are in good health, but others don't know. If you attend the baptism ceremony, it will attract bad gossip and your father-in-law will be worried." Wen Huaian said gently.
Tang Cheng: “…”
"But you can attend the full moon ceremony, and you can happily receive the gifts then." Wen Huaian hurriedly comforted.
Tang Cheng didn't want to embarrass Wen Huaian, so he gave up: "Okay, I'll listen to you."
Anyway, there will be full moon banquets, hundred-day banquets, and first birthday banquets in the future.
Wen Huaian's lips curled up.
Soon it was the day of the third bath.
The entire Duke Zhenguo Mansion was filled with joy, with carriages constantly passing the gate and guests filling the house. It was extremely lively and added a bit of happiness to this cold winter day.
Tang Cheng's house is very lively.
Tang Xin's eyes almost popped out when she looked at Tang Cheng, who looked very good after giving birth, not fat at all and even more charming. She couldn't help but ask curiously.
"Fourth sister, does it hurt to give birth?"
Tang Cheng gave birth quite smoothly. She gave birth to the baby less than an hour after the contractions. She didn't feel much pain during childbirth and felt that it was quite easy.
"It only hurt for a little while, and then the baby came out. It shows that he is a filial son."
Tang Xin frowned: "..."
This shows that he is the most filial person.
"You are indeed filial. I spent a whole day and night giving birth to my first child. I almost died."
Tang Cheng's eldest sister was an experienced person, and she nodded in agreement. Generally speaking, it is difficult to have a first child, and the fourth sister's luck is so good that it makes people jealous.
The same is true for Tang Cheng's second sister.
"My first child was easier to give birth to than my eldest sister, but I still felt pain all day before giving birth."
Wen Huaian's elder and second sisters also echoed the sentiment. They all envied Tang Cheng for not suffering any pain during his first pregnancy.
The more Tang Xin listened, the colder he felt, and he shuddered suddenly.
Most of these women who have given birth have to endure a whole day and night for their first child, which must be extremely painful.
Giving birth was a life-threatening experience for women in ancient times.
horrible.
Tang Xin suddenly felt resistance and fear towards having a child.
Fortunately, she remembered her golden finger.
As long as she transfers plant-based supernatural powers to the medicinal herbs, the medicinal effects will be extremely good. She can use the medicinal herbs to nourish her body, and it will be much easier to give birth. These rich daughters have lived a pampered life before and after marriage, with fine clothes and delicious food. They have delicate bodies, so it is normal for them to have difficulty giving birth.
She didn't need to be afraid.
After Tang Xin comforted herself, the fear and resistance in her heart disappeared without a trace.
Tang Cheng looked at them sympathetically and said, "That's because your bodies are too weak. If you were as strong and healthy as me, giving birth would be as easy as drinking water."
"So, I suggest you exercise more when you go back, so that it will be easier to give birth to a child in the future."
Tang Xin nodded in agreement.
"What Fourth Sister said makes sense. It's easy for common people who often work in the fields to have children."
Tang Cheng's elder sister and others glanced at the unmarried Miss Tang San, and their lips twitched. What are you, an unmarried girl, getting involved in
However, what Tang Cheng said did make sense. However, when they thought of Tang Cheng's heroic act of cracking the table with one kick, they decisively shut up and stopped talking about it. Instead, they talked about the wet nurse.
Tang Xin couldn't help but interrupt.
"Fourth sister, you'd better breastfeed yourself, so that the child will be closer to you in the future."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present looked surprised.
Tang Cheng didn't take Tang Xin's words to heart, and said nonchalantly: "You think too much, the child is mine. If you don't get close to me, how can you get close to the wet nurse? The wet nurse is well fed and well provided, with plenty of milk/water, which is better for feeding the child. Besides, I want to finish my confinement as soon as possible to get well and try to have a second child."
This is how the wealthy families here raise their children, and Tang Cheng thinks it's a good idea. In the Interstellar Empire, children are fed by nanny robots.
There were no nanny robots in ancient times, so having a wet nurse was also good.
Tang Cheng accepted it well.
Who says that if you like children you have to do everything yourself
Tang Xin's face was full of disapproval.
"I still think it's better for my child to breastfeed himself."
"Also, about having a second child, Fourth Sister, listen to me. There's no need to rush. It's not too late to prepare for pregnancy in a year. Frequent pregnancies are not good for your health."
Tang Cheng's two sisters and his eldest and second aunts all had subtle expressions.
Unexpectedly, Tang Cheng was thinking about having a second child right after giving birth to a legitimate son. It was not like she had a daughter as her first child, so she needed to have a son to consolidate her position.
Is it necessary to be so positive
However, it is difficult for his brother-in-law to have children, so Tang Cheng should indeed work hard to expand the Wen family.
This is what Tang Cheng’s two sisters think.
As for Tang Cheng's two aunts, they thought a lot, especially Aunt Chen's daughter. She thought that Tang Cheng had tasted the sweetness of getting the half-finished property given by her father, and wanted to have more children to get the benefits.
She was very unhappy with Tang Cheng's behavior, but she didn't show it on her face.
The four of them knew that frequent pregnancies were not good, but no one advised Tang Cheng like Tang Xin did, it was just that each of them had different thoughts.
Tang Cheng was only doing this for their sake, but she appreciated Tang Xin's kindness.
Tang Cheng is not stupid, so how could he not know that Tang Xin has good intentions.
But her situation is special.
Several people continued to talk to Tang Cheng in the room. As they were talking, Wen Huaian's second sister, Wen Ya, the daughter of Aunt Chen, mentioned the secret recipe for having a child.
"Tang Cheng, don't you want to have a second child? I have a secret recipe for having a baby."
Tang Cheng was very unhappy. Did she look like someone who needed a secret recipe for having a baby
