Chapter 440: Pregnancy (4000K, Two Chapters in One)
I have to say that Zeng Shuang, the general manager, is really good. Smart, forward-looking, able to understand Chen Afu's ideas very accurately, and can also apply them in combination with the characteristics of this era.
After that, Chen Afu went to the neon dress embroidery workshop again. This is not her dowry shop, but it is Chu Lingxuan's private property, and she still has to care about it. Sometimes when the interest comes, I will also design some jewelry for the embroidery workshop.
During this period, he made a marriage to Qingfeng, whether it was the second son of Liu Er, or the daughter-in-law of Liu Er, who came to ask for grace. Liu Er's manager was always afraid that the eldest grandmother would not treat him as his own, and hoped that his son would marry the eldest grandmother's first-class girl, and his relationship with the eldest grandmother could go further.
Chen Afu asked Qingfeng, she was willing, so she set it for them. Qingfeng is seventeen years old this year, and he will get married next year.
Hongfei is also sixteen years old, and she has not yet met the right person. Hongfei is beautiful, capable and loyal, and has some martial arts, which is very popular with Chen Afu. Chen Afu has always wanted to find her a lovely person, although many people have come to ask for marriage, but they haven't looked at it.
Xia Yue and Qiu Yue are also fourteen years old, and if there is a suitable candidate, it should be decided.
By April 10, Chen Afu's small day had been postponed for 15 days.
In the morning, Mama Li asked a doctor to come into the house to check the pulse, and Chen Afu was really pregnant.
Mama Li laughed straight haha, let Chen Afu sit on the kang and don't mess around, and be careful for at least three months.
Chu Hanyan and Li Xuan found out, and they all happily circled around Chen Afu.
Li Xuan, in particular, seemed to be overly excited. Not only did he keep staring at Chen Afu's stomach, but he also kept asking "when will my sister come out", as if he was in a hurry.
Chen Afu was happy and said with a smile, "It's early, you can't be born until the end of winter and the beginning of the month, when it snows heavily." β
When Dabao and Ah Lu came back at noon, they all grinned excitedly when they heard the good news.
Chen Dabao said, "Mother, you'd better give birth to a girl this time, I like a sister who is as good-looking as Sister Yan'er." β
When Li Xuan heard this, he was even more happy, and pulled Chen Afu's shirt and said, "My father said that my aunt's sister will be my little daughter-in-law, and let me take care of it." β
Chen Afu twitched the corners of his mouth when he heard this, what is this? Narui Wang Ye himself is unruly, why do you still teach his son like this, it's too unusual.
Dabao and Little Miss Chu were unhappy, and said in unison, "No! Our sister wants to be with us, and no one will marry." β
When Li Xuan heard this, he opened his voice and cried. said, "My father asked me to take a good look at my little daughter-in-law, and when I grow up, I will marry her into the door." My father has been telling me for a long time, so I don't forget ......"
Chen Alu laughed and said, "Shame, shame, I know that I want my daughter-in-law at such a young age." β
Chen Afu pulled Li Xuan to his side, wiped his tears and said, "If you talk about looking for a daughter-in-law at such a young age, people will laugh at you." Don't you think Uncle Lu is laughing at you?"
Chen Dabao was very unhappy. My sister was remembered by others before she was born, and if she was born as good-looking as Yan'er's sister, I don't know how many people will be remembered. Hearing what his mother said, she scratched her face a few times with her fingers and shouted loudly, "Little boy, sit on the door, crying and crying for your daughter-in-law's ......"
The crowd burst into laughter.
Li Xuan was even more embarrassed, his little head lay on Chen Afu's lap and whimpered.
Chen Afu said deliberately, "You are not allowed to laugh, Xuan Xuan didn't think about his daughter-in-law, he was talking about playing." Touching his head again, he asked, "Xuan Xuan is talking about playing, right?"
Li Xuan raised his hazy teary eyes, and wanted to say in his heart, "I really want a little daughter-in-law." But for fear of others laughing at him, he still nodded against his will and said, "Well, I was joking just now, and I didn't want a daughter-in-law." β
He is so contradictory, and he also knows to say things that are beneficial to himself. Chen Afu is secretly happy, the little guy is smarter again.
At the next morning, Chen Afu asked people to go outside to buy two lactating sheep and buy some almonds back.
Pregnant women will have less and less milk and little nutrition. The taste of the little brother has been raised, and they don't drink the milk of other nurses except her milk. Chen Afu had to use the excuse of boiling almonds to remove the smell of goat's milk, and when the time came, he wrapped the almonds in a cloth towel and added a small piece of swallow agarwood residue to it. With that special taste, the little brothers will definitely drink it. The little brother is half a year old, and with complementary food, he only drinks milk twice a day.
After the sheep are bought, they are kept in the backyard of the main yard for easy milking. Mother Lin used to milk the cow and was very skilled in milking a small pot of milk.
Chen Afu entered the space, and a small brocade box contained a few swallow agarwood slag the size of small toothpicks. These wood residues are not as precious as green leaves, so Jin Yanzi pecked a few sticks for Chen Afu and put them here for her cooking.
Chen Afu saw that Jin Bei lying on the ground was a little green. It must be sad, the playful golden swallow has been out for more than ten days and has not returned.
Chen Afu picked it up and said with a smile, "Beibei, don't be sad, the baby hasn't been to play in the forest for a long time, so it's been delayed for a few more days." Come back to life quickly, you have life, and you can go outside with your baby. He added, "Mommy is pregnant with a baby again, I don't know if Bei Bei will be his or her sister or sister." β
Jin Bei's little body warmed up again.
Chen Afu walked out of the space, quietly handed the small wooden slag to Hong Fei, and said, "This is the rare medicinal herb that Master Wuzhi gave me at the beginning, which can strengthen the body. You make a small packet and put it in with almonds to boil goat's milk. The boiled almonds are lost, but this small skewer cannot be lost, and it is kept for the next cooking. β
Hongfei nodded, boiled the goat's milk, and let it warm.
The little brothers were a little disgusted at first, frowning and refusing to drink, but the two mothers coaxed for a while and still drank it. It's just that there are no feeding bottles in this era, and feeding with a small spoon is a bit troublesome.
After dinner, Jin Yanzi finally led Qiqi and Ash back. This time, I also came with two beautiful kingfishers. The children were very happy, and they followed the birds and the Chasing Wind family to play in the yard, which was very lively. Even the little brothers were hugged by their mothers and mixed in, slapping and screaming, and their voices were very loud.
Little Miss Chu said to Jin Yanzi with a treasure, "Jinbao, let me tell you good news, my mother has a sister in her belly." β
She, Dabao, and Li Xuan all hoped that their mother would have another sister, so they preconceived that their mother was a sister in her belly.
When Jin Yanzi heard this, she was so happy that her little sharp mouth opened so much, and she just wanted to fly to Mommy's place, but she was grabbed by Li Xuan. It finally broke free from his little clutches and was caught by Dabao again......
The sunset faded the last blush and the night came like a tide, and the full moon hung obliquely in the sky against the backdrop of the stars. The lanterns under the porch were also lit, illuminating the yard brightly, and the children were so excited that they didn't want to go back to the house.
Chen Afu thought that they hadn't played like this for a long time, so they continued to make trouble in the yard. She sat under the porch, holding her stomach with one hand, and looked at them gently and serenely.
The years are quiet, if you don't think about the unknown future of the Beijing family, this kind of day is really rare and peaceful. Of course, it would be better if Chu Lingxuan was at home.
Since they got married, they have gathered less and separated more. This is true when she lives in the countryside, and it is the same when she moves to the city. If you don't have so many little babies around you, you will miss him more often, and your life will be more difficult, right?
has been in another world for more than three years, and her concern is far more than the thirty years in the previous life......
Chen Afu was thinking about it, Jin Yanzi finally broke through a few pairs of little devil claws, flew over and hung on her clothes, and chirped, "Mommy, Daddy Chu is so capable, and people have younger brothers or sisters." Hehe, people think, you must have shaken Bei Bei to the back of her pregnancy, it must be, yes!"
Chen Afu has a black line. This little thing, sometimes very naΓ―ve, sometimes very complicated, thinks more than people. She reached out and grabbed it and gave it a brain break, and wanted to scold it, but looking at the girl not far away, she still held back.
Jin Yanzi chirped a few times unhappily and said, "You humans are so fake, it is the truth, but you don't want people to say it. β
It seems that this is indeed the case, Chen Afu did not squeak.
I only heard Jin Yanzi continue, "We also went to Fuyuan and Luyuan this time, they are so beautiful. Grandpa and Grandma, and great-grandfather, they peeled melon seeds and peanuts for us to eat, and they were so ......"
As he was talking, Chu Lingxuan and the old marquis suddenly appeared at the gate of the courtyard. Behind them, they were also followed by Chu Lingzhi and Luo Guan, who had been running errands in the capital.
Seeing Steward Luo come back, Chen Afu guessed that Chen Shiying's results must have come out.
Chen Afu and several children all got up to salute the old marquis and Chu Lingxuan, and the little girl Chu who had grown up was embarrassed to throw herself into her father's arms, but gave him a standard blessing.
Chu Lingxuan was still a little disappointed, and said with a smile, "There is a girl in my family who has just grown up, and Yan'er and her father are separated." He smiled at Chen Afu again, "Father-in-law is back......"
Old Marquis Chu laughed and said, "Daughter-in-law Ling Xuan quickly bring someone to get some wine and food, the old man has wanted to eat the food you made for a long time." The third child has nothing to do, the official position of Chen's family has not changed, and their affairs will be told to Xuan'er slowly with you at night. β
People are in good spirits on happy occasions, Chen Afu hasn't heard such hearty laughter from Old Marquis Chu for a long time.
She was also very happy, and quickly asked people to bring water to clean their faces and hands, and she personally took people to the small kitchen to cook.
Chu Hanyan and Chen Dabao told Chu Lingxuan about their mother's pregnancy and baby like a treasure, and Chu Lingxuan was overjoyed.
The old marquis of Chu was also overjoyed, and asked Xiaomo to go and invite Chen Afu back, don't tire her down.
Chen Afu shook her head at Xiaomo, she sat on the side and directed, not doing it herself.
Chen Afu calculated that Chu Lingxuan would come back these days, so the ingredients were prepared in the small kitchen at any time, and the old braised soup was always saved. Time was tight, I made a few easy-to-cook lo-mei, and a few refreshing side dishes. She also fried a garlic sprout back to the pot meat, the garlic sprout was planted by herself, and swallow dung was applied, which was extremely fragrant. Plus a few bowls of wontons with chicken sauce, which is Chu Lingxuan's favorite.
When he was busy, Chu Huai came to the kitchen. He stood at the door and hugged Chen Afu with a fist, and said with a smile, "Uncle is afraid that the big grandmother will be in a hurry, so let the villain come and report to the big grandma." Things went relatively smoothly for my uncle, but it would take some time for the results to come to fruition. The Hou Ye and the Third Master will pay attention to this matter, please don't worry about the eldest grandmother. Lord Chen's official position has not changed, and he is still the governor of Dingzhou. was only severely reprimanded by the saint, and the saint also asked Lord Chen not only to comprehensively plant 'high-yield grain' in the Dingzhou jurisdiction, but also to assist in the promotion of other areas, and strive to make meritorious contributions...... He's in good shape, and he's already home when we came back together. β
Chen Shiying was only reprimanded, and let him make meritorious contributions, indicating that he would still be reused after doing a good job...... It was so much better than expected.
Chen Afu's heart that had been hanging was completely put into his stomach.
The dishes were placed in the West Chamber, and the old marquis had a table with Chu Lingxuan and Chu Lingzhi, and set up a small table for the Luo steward who had worked hard for several months, and took out two jars of blue and white stuff.
The corners of Chu Lingxuan's mouth rose, and he said to Chen Afu, "You sit down and rest, let those things be done." β
The old marquis also smiled and said, "The granddaughter-in-law is blessed. Take care of your body and add me a big fat grandson. β
Li Xuan, who was standing on the side, said, "My aunt wants to give birth to a daughter, not a grandson." β
The old marquis smiled again, "It's okay for granddaughter." I gave birth to a granddaughter this time, and I will have a grandson next time. β
The corners of Chen Afu's mouth twitched. It turned out that she had always wanted to have more children, but since she gave birth to a child last time, she realized how painful and dangerous it was to have a child in ancient times. No matter how difficult it is, you can't cut your abdomen, you have to be forced to give birth to yourself. She also thought that she would have another daughter, and then she would not want to give birth.
After the meal, the old marquis and Chu Lingzhi were sent away, and Chen Afu rewarded the shopkeeper Luo with another hundred taels of silver, thanking him for his hard work for several months.
After sending the children away, Chu Lingxuan went to the clean room to wash up, changed into a middle coat and pants and came out. Chen Afu took a cloth towel to help him wipe his hair, he glanced at her stomach first, and the smile on his face was even stronger. Pulling her into his arms and saying, "Let the next person do these things, don't work too hard." β
Chen Afu's face was buried in his arms, smelling the familiar smell, and his heart was extremely stable. Porcelain said angrily, "In the future, you won't be away from home often, will you?"
Chu Lingxuan smiled, "Well, this time will be a little idle." β
Chen Afu's face rubbed against his thick shoulder, and said, "Then you have to go home every day......
"Okay, I'll try to go home every day. The corners of Chu Lingxuan's mouth rose, he always felt that his wife was too independent and too smart, but he didn't expect that there would be such a pestering time.
After that, Chen Afu still asked him to sit down and insisted on wiping his hair by himself. Chen Afu likes his black hair very much, jet black and smooth, especially when he wants to dry it or not, he holds it in his hand like a cold textured silk.
Listening to him, Wang Cheng's affairs went very smoothly. After the emperor heard about this incident, Long Yan was furious and had already asked people to arrest the relevant personnel, and a member of the Wang family related to this incident was also imprisoned in Dali Temple. Wang Cheng and two witnesses also entered the Dali Temple and were closely protected. Although the results have not yet come out, the human and material evidence is complete, and those who take the lead and those who help him will definitely be severely punished......
