After a long while, Yang Haiyan finally found her voice: "Doctor Li, what did you just say?"
Doctor Li bowed and said, "Congratulations, you are pregnant. Judging from the pulse, it should be around one month."
Yang Haiyan was stunned. She didn't know how to react. Happy? No. Sad? Of course not. No mother would be sad because of pregnancy.
Yes... She was a little surprised. No wonder, according to legend, every time she had her period, her breasts would swell a little, and this time was no exception. Her breasts were slightly swollen, and she thought her period was coming. Wait... She and Qin Fang had just experienced that yesterday, and now she was pregnant, would it affect the child
If it were a woman in ancient times, she might be embarrassed to ask, but Yang Haiyan is a modern woman, and many modern gynecologists are men, so Yang Haiyan is not embarrassed. Maybe every woman will be particularly nervous about the child when she becomes a mother. Yang Haiyan was still in a daze just now, but now thinking about this, she is no longer worried about the child. She asked: "Doctor Li, the couple has sex only one month after the pregnancy. Will it hurt the child?"
Doctor Li was not surprised by this kind of question. He said, "I see that you are in good health. I haven't found any other problems yet. It is also possible that potential problems cannot be found for the time being. So you should take care of your health in the next few days. If you feel uncomfortable, you should call me immediately."
Yang Haiyan nodded and said, "I will."
Doctor Li added, "I will not go to collect herbs these days. I will go after the lady is pregnant."
Yang Haiyan was very grateful: "Thank you, Doctor Li. By the way, my chest has been a little swollen these days. I thought my period was coming. But now I am pregnant and my chest is still swollen. This situation is not good..."
Doctor Li smiled and said, "Don't worry, it's normal for women to have this kind of condition in the early stages of pregnancy. You don't need to be nervous."
Yang Haiyan felt relieved when she heard what Doctor Li said: "In that case, I'll trouble you, Doctor Li. Please go ahead and do your work."
Doctor Li: "I will take my leave."
"Doctor Li..." Nanny Lian stopped him, "Please don't take this matter too seriously. Wait until three months have passed before we talk about it."
Doctor Li naturally knew this statement: "Don't worry, Madam."
After Doctor Li left, Nanny Lian said, "County Master, I don't know if you know this saying, but women cannot make public their pregnancy in the first three months, so we have to wait three months before discussing this matter."
Yang Haiyan is a modern person. In the village where she grew up, there is no such saying. As soon as her neighbor next door got pregnant, the news spread immediately. But she knew that even in some places today, there are still such things. Although she herself does not care about this, this is ancient times, everyone cares about this, so she naturally will not object. She said: "I only heard about it, but I didn't know the details. Fortunately, the nanny was by my side to remind me. What about grandma and mother?"
Nanny Lian really helped her a lot by her side. With Nanny Lian around, she was like a shopkeeper in charge and didn't have to worry about anything.
Lian Ma was also happy to be valued by the mistress. She was alone and planned to live in the general's mansion, so the mistress's appreciation was very important to her. And she was really comfortable in the general's mansion. The backyard was clean and the population was simple. Whether it was the male master, the female master or other masters, they were all rare people who were easy to get along with.
In fact, before the Qin family came, Nanny Lian was worried, but after meeting Grandpa Qin, Grandma Qin and others, she found that they were also truly comfortable people, so she was no longer worried.
Lian Ma said, "We can say that the old lady and the mistress are family, so there is no relationship. Besides, you were supposed to be busy with the imperial grain factory, but now that you are pregnant, you can't do that. Someone has to come forward to replace you. I think that among all the mistresses in the family, the eldest lady is the most suitable. She is the general's biological mother, and she is also a concubine with an imperial decree. She is the best person to replace you and the general's mansion. The old lady is old and it is not easy for her to worry about it."
Yang Haiyan said: "Yes, the old lady and the first lady have been asking me to be pregnant. Telling them will make them happy. Alas..." After saying this, Yang Haiyan sighed.
"Pfft, pfft, pfft..." Aunt Lian said hurriedly, "This is such a good thing, the country lady can't sigh, Bodhisattva, please forgive me, just pretend that you didn't see our country lady sigh, she is young and doesn't know anything. God has sent me a child, please forgive me on such a good day."
Yang Haiyan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but she held it in and said to Nanny Lian, "It's my fault. Please don't hold it against me. Thank you for coming to give me a child. Good Nanny, please don't be angry with me. There are many things I need you to remind me of in the future."
Aunt Lian said unhappily: "How could I be angry with you? You are still a girl."
Yang Haiyan smiled and went over to hold her hand: "Don't you have a nanny here? Why should I grow up?"
Nanny Lian supported her and said, "Then you go back to your room and take a rest. I will tell the old lady the good news, and then go to the military camp and invite the first lady to come?"
Yang Haiyan said, "Okay. Well, my husband should be in the teacher's yard right now, you should go and tell him. But you don't have to tell him, just keep it a secret from him for now."
Aunt Lian didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "You just love to joke with the general."
Yang Haiyan: “It’s fun.”
Yang Haiyan went back to the room to rest, just lying there. She herself felt a little puzzled. She lay on the bed, staring at the ceiling, and then nothing happened. Nanny Lian went out.
Liuxinyuan
Grandma Qin and Grandpa Qin tidied up the land in the yard and planted the cucumbers that Yang Haiyan had mentioned. On the third day after the cucumbers were delivered, Yang Haiyan asked Uncle Hong to buy cucumber seeds and brought some cucumbers for dinner.
Although cucumber seeds were brought out by the Hu people, their original intention was just to satisfy their hunger, not because of the precious seeds. So when Uncle Hong brought various recipes of eating cucumbers and money to buy cucumber seeds from the woman, the woman accepted the recipes of eating cucumbers but did not accept the money.
Therefore, the cucumber seeds that Uncle Hong exchanged for were eaten by Grandpa Qin and Grandma Qin.
The two old people also had nothing to do, so they tilled the ground in the yard, slowly doing it to kill time, and it wasn't hard.
"Old lady..." When Aunt Lian came, Grandma Qin was watering the plants. She was happy to see Aunt Lian, because Aunt Lian was knowledgeable and would occasionally tell Yang Haiyan and Grandma Qin some interesting stories she had heard before. These stories were half true and half false, true and false, but Grandma Qin liked to hear them anyway.
According to Yang Haiyan, women all love to listen to gossip.
Grandma Qin put down the bucket and said, "Hey, Aunt Lian is here."
Nanny Lian bowed and said, "I am here to congratulate you, old lady, and ask for a reward from you."
Grandma Qin was stunned: "What kind of happy event is this?"
Nanny Lian smiled and said, "I just found out about this today, so we can't make it public yet. It's... the lady is pregnant." She whispered in Granny Qin's ear.
Grandma Qin was stunned at first, then her eyes turned red: "Oh, may the Bodhisattva bless me, may the Bodhisattva bless me, it is really the Bodhisattva bless me." As she spoke, she started to cry.
The eldest grandson and his wife have been married for almost two years, but they have not gotten pregnant. If it was because they were going back to their hometown last year and it was difficult to get pregnant, what about after they went back? The couple didn't say anything, but she and Qin's mother were still anxious. Although they didn't show anything in front of the eldest grandson's wife, so as not to hurt her heart, but secretly, the two prayed to the Bodhisattva several times.
However, their anxiety and praying to the Buddha are one thing, but they have never asked their eldest grandson and his wife to divorce, or asked their eldest grandson to take a concubine. The Qin family does not practice that. Or rather, ordinary people do not practice that.
Fortunately, the eldest grandson’s wife finally got pregnant.
When Aunt Lian saw this, she was shocked: "Is it serious, old lady? You are scaring me."
Grandma Qin rubbed her eyes and said, "I am so happy, so happy. Let's go, let's go see Yanyan. Oh, her mother-in-law doesn't know about this, right? We have to go and tell her."
Nanny Lian: "I don't know yet. Apart from Xiangjun and I, you are the first one to know. Even the general doesn't know. Xiangjun also said that he won't tell the general for the time being. Xiangjun, you are really childish."
Grandma Qin said: "He is only eight years old, still a child."
Nanny Lian said, "That's right, but the couple is good, and married into the Qin family. Good for you, the first wife, and the general."
Grandma Qin: "That's not the case. It's Yanyan's own goodness. Thanks to her, our Qin family is what it is today." The Qin family has always believed this, and coupled with what the nun said, they have always felt that Yang Haiyan is their family's great benefactor.
When the two of them walked out of Liuxin Courtyard, Nanny Lian said, "Madam, I have to go to the bank of the military camp's fields now, so I won't compensate you for going to Xiangjun's courtyard."
Grandma Qin was stunned: "Why do you need to tell me this? Just send someone to tell them."
Nanny Lian said, "Aunt Yu is taking care of us in the yard. I will feel at ease if I go and tell her myself." Aunt Yu was also a mother, so she would take good care of the country gentleman.
Grandma Qin: "You are always careful when doing things."
Nanny Lian took a carriage to the military camp and told Mother Qin about Yang Haiyan's pregnancy. Mother Qin stopped caring about anything because her daughter-in-law was more important than anything else. Even Father Qin was so happy that he almost danced with joy. He was going to be a grandfather. He urged, "Go to Afang quickly. I'm here. The soldiers will go to the third brother's place for dinner for the time being. Don't worry, I will take care of the third brother and his son."
Mother Qin said, "Even if you ask me to stay, I won't."
Father Qin: “…” As he waited for his grandchildren to be born, he became less and less important.
