The villagers of Shenshu Village here are listening to Xiao Fuyuan's auspicious words at Lao Bai's house.
Liu Hong, the prefect of Huaicheng, was both happy and sad.
I was happy because my wife, Mrs. Xu, was diagnosed with pregnancy.
"Thanks to Xiao Yuanbao, I can get pregnant again." Mrs. Xu said happily while lying on the bed after the doctor left.
Before the Mid-Autumn Festival, she took Cuicui to Lao Bai's house. Xiao Fuyuan said she had a child in her belly. She was surprised and happy.
Unexpectedly, after arriving in Huaicheng, several doctors were invited one after another and they all said that she was not pregnant.
She sighed in frustration that what Xiao Fuyuan said may not necessarily ring true.
Unexpectedly, she was actually diagnosed with pregnancy in winter.
"What are you talking about, madam? Isn't it because of your husband that you are pregnant? How could it be blamed on Xiao Yuanbao?" Liu Hong sent the doctor away and returned to the room. When he heard Mrs. Zhen sighing, he couldn't help but say.
Liu Hong was so happy that he almost lost his balance!
It was said that he had few heirs. He only had one son when he was middle-aged, and it seemed that this son did not have much hope in the imperial examination.
His mother always gave him concubines in the name of having few children. When he refused, his mother scolded him for being unfilial while teasing Xu. For so many years, he was torn between his mother and his wife.
There is a rift between husband and wife.
There are even rumors outside that the prefect's refusal to take concubines is because he has an unspeakable secret when he reaches middle age. Otherwise, he would only have one son for so many years?
There are worse things to say anyway, so it’s okay not to say them.
Now that Xu is pregnant again, it shows that he is not only proud of his official career, but also his physical fitness.
Those rumors outside are self-defeating.
"What, isn't this a tribute to your husband?" Liu Hong asked happily.
Mrs. Xu saw that her man had the idea of driving.
Glancing at the maid beside him, a slight blush appeared on his face.
I'm so shy, what are you talking about?
He doesn't have the stability of a prefect at all.
Liu Hong didn't realize it yet, and kept asking: "Madam, tell me, why is it Xiao Yuanbao's credit?"
At the mention of Xiao Fuyuan, Mrs. Xu became excited.
"Of course this is Xiao Yuanbao's credit. Husband, let me tell you, the last time I went to Shenshu Village, Xiao Yuanbao told me that there was a baby in my belly. I went to several doctors and they all said there was nothing there. Why did I beat myself up? There was no news after giving birth to Shu'er, and I got pregnant not long after she said that. If it's not her, whose credit is it? Husband, you say it's your credit, you are also blessed with Xiao Yuanbao to be a father again."
Xu's analysis is clear and logical.
Liu Hong thought for a while and agreed with his face: "According to Madam, it is really Xiao Yuanbao's credit."
"Indeed, you didn't realize that since we met Xiao Yuanbao, your career has grown bigger and bigger, and Shu'er's homework has gotten better and better. What does this mean to me? Tieshuhuahua is pregnant."
Mrs. Xu clasped her fingers and explained one by one.
At the same time, I am once again glad that I was wise and did not offend the Lao Bai family to death, and dared to shamelessly apologize to the Lao Bai family.
Otherwise, how could I get pregnant easily?
Mrs. Xu decided to send people to Lao Bai's house as soon as possible to deliver New Year's gifts, and the original gift to Xiao Fuyuan was to be a little heavier.
"Madam, the old lady is up." A handsome maid came in and gave Liu Hong a charming look.
This girl was a reserve girl given by the old lady to Liu Hong as a concubine, but Liu Hong really couldn't muster the energy to take concubines, so this girl has been waiting on Xu's side.
After hearing this, Liu Hong became angry and said: "The old lady is up, and you won't rush to serve her. My message is that the lady is pregnant and cannot work too hard. You can go and serve the old lady from now on."
Mrs. Xu felt happy.
Since the winter has entered, the old lady would take a nap every evening. When she wakes up, Mrs. Xu must be by her side.
Originally there were so many maids and wives that there was no need for Mrs. Xu to take care of her, but Old Mrs. Liu had to go even if her daughter-in-law was left standing beside her.
Now that Liu Hong has spoken, she no longer has to serve her mother-in-law.
Thinking like this, Mrs. Xu still wanted to show her respect for her mother-in-law in front of Liu Hong. She struggled to get up and said, "I'm used to serving her during this time."
"If she feels that she is not well served by others, I will find two smart girls for her." Liu Hong quickly held down Mrs. Xu and said to the maid serving beside him: "Go, quickly make bird's nest and chicken soup for your wife. "
Mrs. Xu felt relieved and asked Liu Hong: "Do you want a son or a daughter?"
Xiao Fuyuan's delicate and cute little face flashed before Liu Hong's eyes, her soft and sweet voice, and her fatherly smile appeared on her face, and she said: "Of course she is a daughter, preferably a daughter as cute as Xiao Yuanbao."
Mrs. Xu nodded and said: "Who doesn't want a daughter like Xiao Yuanbao? If the old Bai family is willing, I would rather give up Shu'er in exchange for her."
Liu Shu, who learned that his mother was not feeling well and was lying in bed, hurried from school and heard her say this before he even stepped through the door.
Liu Shu: "..."
It’s so frustrating!
"Mom, are you pregnant with your sister? This has made me worried for a long time." Liu Shu came to Xu's bed and asked with a look of surprise on his face.
It’s good to have a sister!
Who wants to stink brother!
A sister like Xiao Fuyuan is the best. She sweetly chases her and calls her brother, letting her brother hug her and let her brother carry her on his back.
Wait, Xiao Fuyuan doesn't chase him and call her brother, he chases her and calls her sister.
But what does it matter.
In short, my sister is the best!
"I would like to give you a sister, but I don't know if your father is lucky enough to be the father-in-law." Mrs. Xu said angrily.
"Why not? He can give birth to such a beautiful daughter on a white plate, why can't I?"
He, Liu Hong, was a Jinshi. Apart from the top pick in his year, he was also the most handsome.
Nowadays, people have not gained weight even in middle age, and their appearance is still the leader in official circles.
In comparison, the white wooden board was too old and the skin was too rough. His daughter was so smart, so why couldn't he.
Although Lord Liu Hong doesn't admit it, he is jealous of the white wooden board.
Mrs. Xu sneered and said: "It's not necessarily true. The son of Brother Bai is not bad either. The fourth son is very popular at Huaishui Academy. As for your son, he is not even as good as Erlang, his grandson."
Liu Hong was speechless after talking.
"Mom, you can't destroy our family's prestige. Don't worry, you will definitely give me a smart and beautiful sister." Liu Shu supported his father.
"In this case, I will write a letter to the white board and ask for a portrait of Little Yuanbao. Hang it on the bedside. You can look at it every day. I am sure you will have a daughter as beautiful and lovely as Little Yuanbao." Mr. Liu Hong, who never believed in this, said Taking the initiative to fall into the pit of superstition.
"That's okay."
Xu agreed with her man's approach.
There was nothing she could do, she wanted her daughter so much that she went crazy!
Especially a lovely daughter like the old Bai family!
"By the way, sir, I saw you looked a little worried when you came in. What's going on?"
Mrs. Xu thought of the sadness and worry on Liu Hong's face before she was diagnosed with pregnancy. Based on her understanding of her man, it was definitely not for her.
