Chapter 37: Happy Event

Wen was finally moved by Ling Yuanniang's words, just like Ling Yuanniang said, why did her son become an official, she still had to stay in her hometown, and she should have followed her son to enjoy happiness a long time ago.

She went to persuade Daddy Ling again, but Daddy Ling was unmoved at first, but after returning from a trip, he calmly asked Wen to pack his luggage. While collecting things, Wen asked, "Dad, are you angry outside?" ”

Father Ling snorted and said angrily, "That Nie Guangzong is too deceitful. ”

He went to the shop in the town today to check the accounts, but on the way back, he met Nie's father, since Yan Niang and Ling Jiming reconciled and left, the Ling and Nie families have become enemies.

The enemy was very red when they met, and Nie Daddy used Ling Yuanniang's unobservance of women's morals to sarcastically mock Ling Daddy, and Ling Daddy ironically ridiculed the Nie family's eyes and beads, and did not recognize Yan Niang, the daughter who was an official's wife.

The two of you went back and forth, fighting with each other, although they made each other so angry that they blushed and had a thick neck, they didn't take any advantage. Father Ling came back angrily, and when he approached the door, he remembered that his wife persuaded him to move to Wuzhou.

If he hadn't met Father Nie, Father Ling would not have wavered, and today he was sarcastically ridiculed by Father Nie, and he felt that it was not a good thing to stay in his hometown.

The Ling family plans to move their family to Wuzhou, and the family's fields and houses are easy to manage, but the shops in Lingjiang Town are not easy to handle. Although Wuzhou is separated from Yucheng County by a Cangxian County, it takes a day to come and go on the road, so it is a little far to go back to Lingjiang Town to check the accounts.

Father Ling and Wen's summed up and decided to sell the shop. Wen's grocery store is located in the middle of East Street, the location is not bad, as soon as I heard that she was going to sell the shop, many people came to inquire.

The shop is in demand, and the one with the highest price gets it, and Wen's shop soon changed hands. After everything was done, Father Ling and the Wen family took their daughter Ling Yuanniang to go to their son.

Yan Niang has also heard about what has happened in the Ling family these days, and she has heard it from Wu Niangzi. Wu Niangzi talked about Ling Yuanniang being caught and raped in bed by Sun Fu, as if she was there at the scene of the incident.

Yan Niang felt eye-opening when she heard this, Ling Yuanniang was really bold and reckless, and dared to have an affair with an adulterer in her own home. Thinking about it, there is nothing curious about it, after all, she can even do something to instigate her young son to poison.

Wu Niangzi stayed at Jiang's house until noon before going back, Yan Niang looked at the sky, turned around and went to the stove room.

Jiang's mother caught a cold a few days ago, and her body only improved in the past two days, Xu is light food and has no appetite after eating too much, and after the illness is cured, the whole person has lost weight. Yan Niang plans to cook some sour and appetizing dishes for her mother-in-law herself.

Lingjiang Town is built near the water, and there are many fish and shrimp, and the people in the town will buy fish to eat every few days. Yan Niang asked Yang Niangzi to go to the dock in the morning to buy a fresh carp, planning to make a sweet and sour fish.

After Yang Niangzi processed and washed the carp, she waited for Yan Niang to fry the fish.

Before Yan Niang approached the stove, a fishy smell came to her face, and then her stomach turned over, and she couldn't help covering her mouth with her hands.

She hurried away from the stove, and the fishy smell was not as strong as before.

Yang Niangzi looked at this scene and seemed to be surprised and suspicious.

At first, she thought that the fish had not been cleaned, but she felt that it was wrong, she washed the fish several times, and all the internal organs and blood stains were thrown away, so it should not be the problem of the fish.

She looked at Yan Niang carefully, she looked like she was pregnant. As soon as she wanted to ask, she heard Yan Niang say: "I'm fine, I'm afraid this sweet and sour carp is going to be made by Yang Niangzi." ”

Yang Niangzi confirmed her conjecture and said with a smile: "Madame, hurry back to the room and rest, when the meal is ready, I will ask Yaya to report it." ”

Yan Niang nodded, explained a few words to her, and turned around and walked out of the stove room. Yang Niangzi looked at her back as she walked away slowly, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart: Mrs. is really a good life!

Since giving birth, Yan Niang's menstrual affairs have become very accurate, and this month's menstrual affairs are a few days late, she thought that she might be pregnant, but she was afraid of making a mistake, so she kept covering it and didn't say anything.

Half a decade has passed since the last time, and the menstrual affair still hasn't come, plus she almost vomited when she smelled the fishy smell before, Yan Niang is sure that she has Jiang Yucheng's flesh and bones.

This is a happy thing, but Yan Niang hasn't figured out how to tell her mother-in-law, let alone how to face her daughter.

There was something in her heart, Yan Niang didn't have much appetite during lunch, Jiang Mu looked worried and asked: "Yan Niang, why don't you pick up the vegetables, is it uncomfortable?" ”

Yan Niang shook her head, and when she was about to speak, she came over with a chopstick sweet and sour fish, and the fishy smell came out through the sweet and sour sauce, and Yan Niang hurriedly covered her mouth.

Jiang Mu saw where there was something she didn't understand, she suppressed her ecstasy and asked in a low voice: "Yan Niang, do you have it?" ”

Man Man looked at his mother without blinking.

Yan Niang's face climbed into the red glow, and under the gaze of her mother-in-law and daughter, she nodded gently.

When Jiang's mother heard the great joy, she put down her chopsticks and got up, "Great joy, I have to tell Cheng'er the good news quickly." ”

Yan Niang hurriedly said: "Mother, why don't you wait until you see the doctor and then tell your husband, I'm afraid I'll make a mistake." ”

Mother Jiang glanced at her with disgust, "You can't be mistaken, you are pregnant with the blood of my Jiang family." However, for the sake of insurance, I still asked Dr. Liu to come over and have a look. ”

After lunch, Jiang's mother invited Dr. Liu to come over, and after Dr. Liu finished taking the pulse, he smiled and said congratulations to Jiang's mother and Yan Niang. When Jiang Mu heard this, she immediately smiled from ear to ear. She immediately asked Yan Bo to go to the county government to report the news and bring the news of Yan Niang's pregnancy to Jiang Yucheng.

After Yan Bo went out, Jiang's mother said to Yan Niang: "Yan Niang, don't do anything in this family in the future, take care of the fetus well, and the old woman will wait to hold her grandson." ”

Yan Niang's body stiffened for a moment, and she didn't dare to ask what if this child was a daughter again? I had to nod obediently.

When it was almost dark, Jiang Yucheng returned to Lingjiang Town. In the afternoon, Yan Bo came to report that Yan Niang was pregnant, and he couldn't believe it after hearing it. He is twenty-four years old this year, and several of his classmates have gone to private school when they were the age. In order to rush back as soon as possible, he was busy all afternoon, and he didn't even drink a few sips of water, and he was finally done.

When he returned home, he felt the joyful atmosphere before he entered the house, and Jiang's mother pulled him happily and said: "Son, you finally have a queen, even if your mother dies immediately, she will be blind." ”

Jiang Yucheng was a little helpless, "Mother, what nonsense are you talking about, you will definitely live a long life, and you will have to watch your grandson marry a wife and have children in the future." ”

Mother Jiang suddenly came to her senses, nodded and said, "My son is right, I want to live well, and I have to wait for my grandson to give me a dozen great-grandchildren." ”

Listening to the conversation between their mother and son, Yan Niang's worries deepened.

Jiang Yucheng also noticed her abnormality, and thought that she was uncomfortable, but before going to bed at night, she said her worries uneasily.

Hearing her worries, Jiang Yucheng first paused for a moment, and then suddenly laughed again.

"The lady's worries are superfluous, the Jiang family has always had thin heirs, even daughters are very precious." He patted Yan Niang's hand gently, "As the saying goes, flowers bloom first and then bear fruit, if this child is a daughter, the next child may be a son." ”

Yan Niang sighed, "What if it's always been a daughter?" "It's not that she is patriarchal, but Jiang's mother's obsession makes her a little scared.

Jiang Yucheng thought for a while and said: "If this is the case, then we will raise our daughters well, and when they grow up, the first few big ones will choose a loving husband for them, and the youngest daughter will recruit a son-in-law to come to the door to continue the bloodline of our Jiang family." "His grandmother is the only daughter in the family, and he didn't recruit his grandfather as a son-in-law.

Jiang Yucheng's words made Yan Niang stunned, she even thought of Jiang Yucheng's situation of taking a concubine in the future, but she didn't expect him to say anything about recruiting a son-in-law. She glanced up at him, whether it was his serious thoughts or the clichΓ©s used to comfort herself, Yan Niang was very happy.

This night, the couple lay side by side in bed and said a lot of heart-to-heart words, Yan Niang was comforted and had a good night's sleep.

Early the next morning, Jiang Yucheng wanted to go back to the county office, and when he left, he told Jiang's mother a few words, and tactfully asked her not to want grandchildren in front of Yan Niang, lest Yan Niang worry too much, which is not good for adults and children.

Jiang's mother was a little unhappy when she heard this, and felt that Yan Niang became squeamish after she became pregnant, Jiang Yucheng said a lot of good things to coax her, and coaxed her to be happy before setting off for the county government.

Yan Niang didn't know that there was such a thing, but she found that Jiang's mother had obviously changed a lot, and she no longer blindly said that she wanted a grandchild, and sometimes she would say that she wanted a granddaughter like Manman.

Yan Niang still didn't understand, it must be that her husband said something to her mother-in-law before returning to the county office, in order to reduce her psychological burden. Thinking of this, she felt as sweet as honey.

Since she was pregnant, Yan Niang rarely went out, and the matter of checking accounts and pharmaceutical ointment was taken over by Yun's, and after another two months, Yun's wanted to go to Beijing to prepare for her son's marriage, so she handed over the shop to the shopkeeper to take care of.

At the end of June, the imperial court issued a ban on the business of court officials and their family members, which meant that officials and their family members could not have shops in their names.

In this way, Xinyanfang can no longer be hung under the names of Yan Niang and Yun's family, since the date of the ban, many merchants have been eyeing Xinyanfang, among which Yan Niang is most familiar with Wu Niangzi and Mrs. Su.

Since Mrs. Su used the means to get the anointing prescription last time, and let her son open a shop in the capital, she has never bought anything from Xinyanfang, and naturally she has no intersection with Yan Niang.

Yan Niang didn't want to hand over Xinyanfang to this kind of misbehaving woman, the first choice was of course Wu Niangzi, she went to a letter to ask for Yun's opinion, but Yun didn't reply for a long time.

Qixi Festival is the day when the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl meet at the bridge, and it is also a folk begging festival. Mrs. Su invited several more famous families in Lingjiang Town to go to the Su family to "worship the Weaver Girl" together, and Yan Niang and Jiang's mother were also invited.

Jiang's mother didn't want to join in the excitement when she was old, so she politely declined. When it was Yan Niang's turn, Yan Niang didn't want to go, but Mrs. Su came to invite her in person, but Yan Niang had to agree.

On the evening of the seventh day of the seventh month of July, Yan Niang took her daughter to Su's house, and found that the wives of several families in the town were there.

Mrs. Su summoned her eldest granddaughter, Su Wan, and asked her to take Man Man to the place where the little girls played. Yan Niang didn't want her daughter to leave her side, but Mrs. Su smiled and said: "Mrs. Jiang, I'm afraid the children will find it boring to follow us, my granddaughter has always been steady, and she will be fine with her taking care of Ling Qianjin." ”

Yan Niang glanced at Su Wan and saw that she was about ten years old, with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, and was praised by her grandmother Mrs. Su in front of everyone, but she only smiled slightly, with a calm face that did not match her age.

Yan Niang handed over her daughter to her and asked Yaya to go with her.
