Meng Xiaoniang was happy in her heart, she was not yet thirty, she felt that she must be able to give birth, and planned to find a doctor to recuperate, eat a few prescriptions, and conceive a child in the second half of the year.

There are many hopes in the future.

When the eldest prince separates after inheriting the title, he can still share an extra share of the family property.

Chapter 46: Crab Fishing

In the future, the family will be divided, except for the eldest son's exclusive share, the second son will be more occupied by the concubine, and the rest will be divided equally by several men in the house.

A daughter marries a dowry, only a son can divide the family property, that is real gold and platinum, Meng Xiaoniang is naturally willing to give birth to a son, it is best to get a man in one fell swoop.

Yan Mingyue turned her head, feeling quite helpless, no matter what she said, the little lady didn't listen, so there was no need to say it.

Otherwise, it will be boring.

Meng Xiaoniang put down the embroidery frame, and calculated the money for raising the child in her heart, Jinhuayuan has also saved a lot of silver over the years, about 10,000 taels.

Relying on the month alone, the year and month of the money must be saved, and the daughter just doesn't understand her painstaking efforts.

There are only benefits to having multiple children, and there is no harm in doing so.

Meng Xiaoniang has been thinking about this, and the next morning she asked Shen for a waist card and left the house, so she went to Baorentang, where she always went.

Meng Xiaoniang also found an excuse, so she said that she was not feeling well, and she didn't get better after seeing the house doctor, and she was originally going to see a doctor, which is not a lie.

When she gives birth to the child, the grandfather will be happy, seeing that the Shen family is in his thirties, it is estimated that he will not be able to give birth.

It must not be able to give birth, otherwise why would you carry the five girls to the main courtyard.

In Meng Xiaoniang's heart, it is to have more children and win Yan Guogong's heart, there is nothing more important than these things.

Shen happily gave the waist card, wondering if Meng Xiaoniang was pregnant, and she couldn't trust the doctor in the house, so she wanted to go outside.

If you are pregnant, you will be pregnant, and the house is not unaffordable.

And she doesn't need to be raised, and there is not much more.

The Shen family has a big heart, and Meng Xiaoniang has a lot of children, and the three of them have not set off a storm, so what's the use of having one more child.

In the early years, she may have been uncomfortable because of the pregnancy in the concubine's room, but now she cares about her children.

Look at the eldest son's homework, see if Yan Mingye is making trouble, and see if Mingqiao has made progress in practicing calligraphy......

There is also Zhuangzi, the shop in the house, and the Shen family is busy, she looks forward to marrying Xu Jingshu back as soon as possible, so that she can be lighter.

Yan Mingyu doesn't have to worry about Shen anymore, her state is a bit like graduating from the college entrance examination, and there is more than a year of vacation in the middle, during this period, as long as she doesn't drink and gamble, Shen won't say anything.

This is the person who is married, free and unrestrained.

Yan Mingyu asked the maid to get the eiderdown quilt before noon, wrapped it with the medicinal herbs, and let Liulu send it to the Hou Mansion in Zhenbei in the afternoon.

Without modern technology, making quilts is extremely slow, and if you want to sell them, I'm afraid you won't be able to do it.

And the embroidery girls make things, especially for the masters, naturally they can't be sloppy, and they are baked and soaked in lime water, which wastes a lot of effort.

After it is done, it is also smoked incense, and the effort is extremely meticulous.

After more than an hour, Lu Lu came back, Yan Mingyu asked Chu Kan if he had said anything, Lu Lu shook his head, and told the truth, "It was collected by Steward Chen, and the slave maid never saw Master Hou." ”

When the things arrived, Hou Ye didn't seem to be there, so he came back.

Yan Mingyu was a little disappointed in her heart, but when she thought about it, Chu Kan suspected that she didn't lack anything, and even if she saw it, she might not be able to react.

Anyway, she sent it according to what her mother said, and she did a lot of things that should be done.

On the fifth day of the first month, Yan Mingyu couldn't get up, and he didn't send anyone away, and when he had breakfast, Chu Kan estimated that he had walked dozens of miles.

The two of them are not tired, which is not bad.

Shen didn't care about her, Yan Mingyu read the script every day, let the small kitchen make food, and the days passed in the blink of an eye.

The day of Qixi Festival was rainy and rainy, and it was said that the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl met, and the Weaver Girl cried before it rained, I don't know if it was true, but Yan Mingqiao remembered that it also rained lightly on this day last year.

There are no lights during the day, and the dim sum chef in the kitchen will make Qiaoguo, which tastes a bit like steamed buns, the color and shape are beautiful, but the taste is really average.

Yan Mingqiao ate one and didn't eat it, and she wasn't particularly looking forward to the lantern festival at night, but the other girls in the house changed into new clothes early in the morning and went out as soon as it was dark.

When it gets a little darker, Yan Mingqiao and her sister also went out, there are more people on the street today, and there are no new tricks in the lanterns, but people come and go in pairs, Yan Mingqiao can't help but look at it.

There are also a lot of lanterns by the river, this time the two waited to put the river lanterns, one made a wish that the marriage must go well, and the other made a wish to grow up quickly, and I don't know if the spirit is not good.

There are men and women around who make vows and agree with one heart, and there are also people who give gifts to each other, no matter who they are, they are all sweet voices.

Yan Mingyu felt that Chu Kan was a little unemotional, there were not many days for men and women to meet after marriage, and Qixi was the most righteous and bright day.

It's understandable that people aren't there, but let's leave a word.

However, Chu Kan suspected that she would continue to marry for various reasons, and she married too, and the two were separated by the Zhenbei Hou Mansion, the Yanguo Mansion and Chu Zheng, so don't look forward to promising each other.

Put the river lantern, the two of them walked around the street, the weather was hot, people were crowded, and the rain hit their faces, it was inevitable that they felt wet and sticky, and they had no appetite even when they looked at the food stalls.

The two sisters of Shengjing City ate almost all the snacks, and after watching the lantern festival for a while, they went home.

As soon as I stepped into the door, I heard the porter say: "Second girl, Steward Chen from Zhenbei Hou Mansion is here, and he has something to say to you." ”

Yan Mingyu: "Bring it to the front hall." ”

Soon, Steward Chen came over, "Second girl, Master Hou asked the old slave to send something over." ”

It's too eye-catching to come over during the day, so pick this hour, Chu Kan suspiciously instructed to hand it over to Yan Mingyu, Steward Chen came early, and he had been waiting for a while.

Steward Chen presented a dark brown pine box with exquisite carvings.

Look at the size, it should be jewelry inside.

Yan Mingyu's mood suddenly brightened, and she said a few words to the steward, and asked Leaky to send people out.

This kind of work of giving people is indispensable to pay some silver, and because he is the steward of the Hou Mansion in Zhenbei, there are a lot of dots.

Yan Mingqiao covered her face, not too embarrassed, "My brother-in-law asked me to send it." ”

Yan Mingyu opened it and looked at it, it was a jade pendant with red silk threads, and she said, "It's just ......"

Yan Mingqiao looked like I knew everything, "Superpowers!" ”

Yan Mingyu now feels that it's not good for her sister to be too smart, and she understands everything.

It's really good to be rich, so it's okay for Chu Kan to stay in the northwest, but he should be in a hurry at this time, and he doesn't know when he will be able to get to the barracks.

You can write a letter to send it, but you don't have to be meaty, and then choose the jade pendant worn by the man and send it together.

In her spare time, she can also take care of Chu Zheng and do her best as much as she wants as a stepmother.

Yan Mingqiao and her sister walked for a while, and after they arrived at Yumingxuan, the two separated, she took the maid back to the main courtyard, she went to the main house first, and Yan Guogong was really not there.

Shen was reading a book under the lamp, and when he saw Yan Mingqiao coming in and closing the book, he asked with a smile if the lantern was good, Yan Mingqiao told the truth, and Shen learned that Chu Kan sent something over, and he couldn't stop smiling on his face.

I don't care, I don't look at what I say, I have to look at what I do.

I have a heart.

Chu Kan suspects that the next time he comes back is estimated to be at the end of the year, and it is still early.

After Qixi Festival, it rained again, and the weather was cooler again, cool in the morning and evening, and it was still a little hot during the day.

But ice is enough for the day.

The weather is getting cooler, and it's a good time to add people.

Shen had already started to find a good concubine for him before he told Yan Guogong, Yan Guogong likes weak women, the more gentle and petty, the better, to put it bluntly, he likes Meng Xiaoniang like that.

Obey him, and do not disobey him.

The Shen family asked someone to find someone from Jiangnan, to find someone with a clean background and a poor family, and bought the person, and it should be there in two days.

The letter said that one was named Xu Xiuxin, the other was Su Qiaohui, one was seventeen years old and the other was eighteen years old.

It's just a few years older than Mingyu.

Shen was a little reluctant to go, after all, it is not a good thing to be a concubine, but in Jiangnan, the family is poor, and it is likely to be sold by his father and mother to the local rich gentry as concubines.

The Shen family originally planned to give Yan Mingyu such a maid as a dowry, but the Marquis of Zhenbei was not in the mansion in the first place, and he had a stepson, so it would be superfluous to do this.

After people arrive in Shengjing, the Shen family will meet first, see how the character is, I heard that the family is not good, if it is too thin, it will be raised in the house for a few days, and then carried into the house.

Two days later, the Xu family and the Su family went to Shengjing, and the Shen family went out to see each other for half a day, the foundation is good, the facial features are delicate, but the face is yellow and thin, and they still have to be raised.

After raising it for half a month, at the end of July, two pink sedan chairs were carried into the mansion from the side door of the Guogong Mansion.

The Xu family lived in Qingyu Garden, which was very close to the main courtyard, and the Su family lived in Luozhu Garden, which was relatively close to Jinhua Garden, and was disgusted with Meng Xiaoniang.

Xu and Su are both good-looking, they have been in the house for a few days, and they have bought a few new clothes, and they look like flowers.

Each person allocated two maids, twenty taels of silver per month, and when there were no children, this money was enough to spend, and a lot could be saved.

When the newcomer entered the house, the news couldn't be stopped, and the Su family lived next to Jinhua Garden.

After Meng Xiaoniang knew the news, she almost didn't catch her breath, but the two people who entered the house also came to her yard to ask for peace, saying that the two of them entered the house late and didn't understand anything.

Meng Xiaoniang clenched her silver teeth, she didn't know about it at all, and she didn't hear the gossip.

Yan Guogong is a newcomer again, she is still drinking bitter medicine prescriptions and wants children.

Meng Xiaoniang looked at the newcomer's flower-like face, and couldn't wait to scratch the flowers, the most important thing is that these two people spoke, with a soft tone of Wu Nong, a soft voice, and spoke very slowly, as if they were begging for something.

It was Meng Xiaoniang's former accent.

It's just that after living in Shengjing for a long time, regardless of the wives and concubines around her, they all speak Shengjing dialect, Meng Xiaoniang felt that her accent was rustic, and it took a lot of effort to change it.

The two newcomers walked weakly and spoke like rabbits, and the people who listened to them had itchy teeth.

Who is putting on such a pretentious look!

The newcomer is young, takes a lot of silver every month, and knows that the eldest son and the second girl in the house are married, and they are also a hundred loyal to the Shen family.

Su Shi wants to have a child by her side, so that she will have a reliance in the future, but Xu Xiuxin doesn't want children very much, there are many children in the house, she is a person who suffers, why bring children to the world to suffer.

Xu Xiuxin felt that it would be good for her to have a place to stay, the Shen family was her benefactor, and she was willing to do things for the Shen family.

On the first day of the two concubines' entry into the mansion, Yan Guogong went to Xu's place, stayed in Qingyuyuan for three or four days, and then went to Luozhuyuan.

This time, Meng Xiaoniang used the excuse that the six girls wanted their father, but they didn't intercept anyone.
