After hearing Yuanyang's words, Jia Cong was startled, and then he was pleasantly surprised. Ping'er is pregnant and has a child of her own.
Jia Cong also understood instantly. No wonder so many people came to congratulate him. This was indeed a great event for Ningguo Mansion.
So far, Ningguo Mansion has only one male, so it can be said that the number of people is small. Ping'er's pregnancy is good news for herself and Ningguo Mansion.
Looking at Ping'er who was blushing and happy, Jia Cong walked forward quickly and said expectantly: "Sister Ping'er, this is true. Are you really pregnant?" Ping'er nodded. He said: "Well, it's true. Nianci found out when he took my pulse today." Jia Cong asked: "What's wrong with you?" Ping'er smiled and said: "No, I'm very fine. Don't believe it. Ask Nianci." Han Nianci said, "Master, don't worry. Sister Ping'er is doing very well. There is no problem. The child is almost two months old and is doing well. You don't have to worry." Jia Cong nodded. , took Ping'er's hand and carefully checked the pulse. After confirming that it was the Xi pulse, he felt relieved.
"Then you have to be more careful from now on. Be careful not to get tired. Find a few experienced women to follow you and ask them to help take care of you." Youshi smiled and said, "I have been looking forward to it for so long, and I finally look forward to it. When one comes, naturally you have to take good care of it. Brother Cong, don’t worry, my sister-in-law will take care of this for you, so you don’t have to worry about it." Jia Cong smiled and said, "Well, I don’t do these things either. You know so much, I'll bother my sister-in-law." Youshi smiled and said, "Everything here should be done." At this time, Lin Daiyu also came to her senses and understood the ins and outs of the matter.
I couldn't tell what I felt in my heart. Even though I was happy for Jia Cong, I also felt a little disappointed. It would be great if this was my and Brother Cong's child.
It's a pity that it belongs to someone else, but she is the legitimate mother. No matter whose child the child is, she must call her mother.
Thinking of this, she no longer struggled. She didn't take these things too seriously. As long as Brother Cong was good to her, everything else was unimportant.
He came to Ping'er and said with a smile: "Congratulations to Sister Ping'er. You are a great contributor to the Ningguo Mansion. You should pay more attention to your health from now on and don't work too hard." Ping'er said: "Thank you very much, Miss Lin. I will definitely pay attention." To be honest, Ping'er was still a little uneasy when he saw Lin Daiyu.
This is the mistress of Ningguo Mansion. She got pregnant and gave birth to a baby before her, so I don’t know what she was thinking?
If it's a girl, that's fine. If it's a boy, he's the eldest son. I don't know if he will be unhappy.
At this time, seeing that Lin Daiyu's expression didn't seem to be fake, I felt a little more relaxed. There are some things that she cannot have the final say on. Now that she has reached this point, she can only take one step at a time.
But she wasn't too worried. She still knew very well what Jia Cong was like. He valued love and justice. If anything happened, he would protect himself and his children.
Yuanyang smiled and said: "Master, are you happy now?" Jia Cong smiled and said: "I am still very happy when I heard the news, but I am also a little uneasy. I feel that I am still a child and have not fully grown up yet. , but I have my own child, and I feel a little uncomfortable being the father of someone else." Youshi smiled and said: "Just be pretentious, you are seventeen or eighteen, you are not young, some people are thirteen or fourteen You are already married and have a child of your own at the age of 18. It is already much too late for you." Jia Cong nodded, since he already has it, he can only accept it happily, and this is not the first one.
However, this is what I deserve, and for my first child, I still have to pay attention to it. She asked Youshi to help and found two experienced women to stay with Ping'er and take care of her food and daily life. With the four maids from before, the manpower was enough.
Everyone gathered around Ping'er and Jia Cong, chatting and laughing for a while. Xi Ren, Xiang Ling and others looked at Ping'er with eyes full of envy.
They also wanted to get pregnant as soon as possible, but God did not follow their wishes. Although they were busy with work, there has been no movement so far.
Ping'er was still in a good mood. He comforted her and had dinner together to celebrate Ping'er.
After the meal, Jia Cong sent Lin Daiyu back to Xiaoxiang Pavilion and stayed with her for a while. Seeing Jia Cong always looking at her, Lin Daiyu said: "What are you looking at?" Jia Cong smiled and said: "Of course it's you. It looks better and better. The more I look at it, the more I like it. I can't take it off." Lin Daiyu rolled her eyes and said, "Tell the truth." Jia Cong smiled and said, "Okay, let me see if you are unhappy." Lin Daiyu
"Humph" he said: "Am I such a stingy person? I'm not unhappy. Ping'er has been with you for so many years, helping you take care of your family business, but the credit is not small. She was able to get pregnant, and I also helped you. She's happy, you don't have to test me anymore." Jia Cong said, "I feel relieved after hearing what you said. In fact, I don't want to have children too early. I want to wait until we get married. It's just this kind of thing. I can't completely control it. This can only be said to be God's will." Lin Daiyu said: "Brother Cong, I don't care too much whether our child is the eldest son. Don't think too much about it. Besides, my age It's not that big. Even if we get married next year, it still feels a bit small. I don't want to have children too early. I want to spend a few more years with you. If I have children, I will have less time to spend with you." Lin Daiyu While murmuring, he rested his head on Jia Cong's shoulder.
Jia Cong stretched out his hand to touch her small waist and said softly: "I have the same idea. I don't want you to have a child too early, which will be a burden to you. Let the older gentlemen wait until you reach their age. At our age, it’s not too late for us to regenerate. Most people think that it is easy for the eldest son to take over the family business, so they are particularly concerned about it. They fight all over the family property. Our family is different. The most important thing is money. , silver, even if it is divided into five or six princely houses, it is more than enough, and there is no need to worry about the family property." Lin Daiyu said: "Brother Cong, are you thinking of dividing the families for the children now? You don't want them to surround you. Are you with me?" Jia Cong said: "Our family has too much money. If I am here, even if some people are jealous, they will not dare to do anything. If I am gone, there will be no strong person among the younger generations to scare me. They will be coveted by others. In that case, it will be a disaster rather than a blessing. Many people will do anything for money. They spread the children out to avoid being overtaken by others and not even being able to keep a heir. When the time comes I will arrange half of them in Jeju Island, which will serve as the base camp of our family, and Ningguo Mansion is the official clan place." Lin Daiyu said: "Your idea is not bad, it is very safe, but you are a little too careful. It feels like you don't feel safe, brother Cong, are you thinking too much?" Jia Cong said: "Be careful and don't make any mistakes. I can only try my best to arrange a way out for them. I won't be able to control it after I die. They can only leave it to fate. You have read a lot and have read historical records. You should know that accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger, so you should not take it lightly." Lin Daiyu rolled her eyes and said: "Brother Cong, you are not yet twenty years old. Well, I keep talking about death. We haven't even gotten married yet. Don't you think it's unlucky to talk too much?" Jia Cong smiled and said, "Okay, let's not talk about it. Why don't you tell me that I will stay tonight? Something to do with you?"
"Bah, you have a beautiful idea, go back and accompany your child quickly." Lin Daiyu was shocked when she heard Jia Cong's words.
Although she really wanted Jia Cong to stay with her, she was also afraid that Jia Cong would lose control and use force on her.
Facing Jia Cong, she really didn't have much resistance, but she didn't dare to keep Jia Cong, so she could only drive him away cruelly.
He stood up and pushed Jia Cong out of the room, then closed the door. Jia Cong had a wry smile on his face, and naturally he would not embarrass her. He shouted into the room: "Sister Lin, go to bed early. I'm going back first."
"Yes, I understand." When we returned to Ningguo Mansion, everyone in the room had almost dispersed.
Ping'er was still talking to Yuanyang, Xiren, Xiangling and others. When he saw Jia Cong coming back, he quickly got up and helped him take off his coat.
Xiangling pouted and said, "Master, I also want a baby." Jia Cong pinched her little face and said with a smile, "We've been working hard, don't be anxious, it will be your turn soon. ." Seeing Yuanyang and Xiren looking at him, he shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Don't just look at me, we are also very busy. It will happen gradually, so you have to be patient." Ping'er looked at the looks of several people,
"Pfft" he laughed. Yuanyang rolled his eyes at Ping'er and said angrily: "Ping'er, your little hoof has already given you the upper hand, and you are still laughing at us. Do you believe we can deal with you together?" Ping'er said: " I'm afraid of you, so I didn't say anything. You just stay with me, close to the water and the terraces, and just work hard and live a little better from now on." Xiren said, "I'm busy too, why is there no movement? Ping'er, I'll put you there Please introduce your experience to us, and we will remember your good ones." Yuanyang also said: "Ping'er, please share your pregnancy experience with us." Ping'er said speechlessly: "How can I have any experience? I don't even know. If Nianci hadn't taken my pulse, I still wouldn't know." Jia Cong said, "Having sex before and after your ovulation period has the greatest chance of getting pregnant. You can try it." Ping'er said He stood up and said, "I'm back. You guys keep working hard." Jia Cong said, "Take your time, don't be in a hurry. I'll go to Ping'er's house tonight to stay with this great hero." Yuanyang said, "Yes. Save it, you're pregnant, so don't toss any more, or you'll hurt the baby." Ping'er smiled and said, "Master, you'd better stay and continue tossing them, I can't serve you now." Jia Cong He said, "It's okay. I'll just go and accompany you. I won't do anything." Yuanyang said, "Then I'll follow you too and watch over you to prevent you from doing whatever you want." Jia Cong didn't refuse, and the three of them went to Ping An together. In the children's yard, they lay together and whispered, but they really didn't do anything.
······The next day, the news of Ping Er’s pregnancy spread to the garden. All the sisters came to Ningguo Mansion to congratulate Ping'er. Even Li Wan and Miaoyu came.
For a time, Jia Cong's courtyard was filled with laughter and laughter. Now that everyone was here, Jia Cong took the opportunity to act as a host and asked the kitchen to arrange a banquet so that everyone could have fun in Ningguo Mansion for a day.
On the third day, the news reached Rongguo Mansion and reached Jia Mu's ears. Jia's mother called Jia Cong over and asked her about it. After getting a definite answer, she was very happy.
After giving many instructions and some precautions, Jia Cong was sent away. After Aunt Xue found out, she brought some supplements and went to see Ping'er alone. Jia Cong stayed with her to have a meal at Ningguo Mansion before sending her home.
Sister Feng also ran over, and Heping'er talked for a while before returning to Rongguo Mansion. It was lively for three or four days, and then it gradually settled down and returned to the way it was before.
·······Just when Jia Cong was at home, dealing with trivial matters at home, writing poems and watching plays with his sisters at home, and living a very relaxed and comfortable life, an urgent letter came from Shaanxi. It broke the tranquility in Beijing.
Emperor Longqing sat in the Jinluan Hall, looking at the Shaanxi emergency report in his hand, with anger in his chest.
The sound of "Teng" goes straight into my mind. My vision went dark and I almost fell to the ground. According to intelligence, the situation in Shaanxi has completely gotten out of control. A large number of rebels have gathered together, and the imperial army has been retreating steadily. Three or four resistance forces have been formed that cannot be underestimated.
Shaanxi is already in chaos, and rebels from all walks of life have already prepared their vehicles and horses to oppose the imperial court. The local garrison is no match at all. Most of Shaanxi is out of control, and it is only a matter of time before Shaanxi falls.
A rebel leader named Gao Yingxiang directly took the title of King of Chuang. He was making great progress along the way, encompassing countless victims. His power was getting stronger and stronger, reaching the point where even Emperor Longqing had to pay attention to him.
The situation had deteriorated to this point, which made Emperor Longqing extremely angry. I wish I could kill all the officials whose corpses were lying bare to vent the anger in my heart.
"Trash, they are all a bunch of trash. A good situation has come to this point. You really deserve to be killed." Looking at the filial Emperor Longqing above, all the civil and military officials in the hall were silent, not wanting to touch him at this time. The bad luck of Emperor Longqing.
They already knew about the matter, but they did not expect that the situation would deteriorate to this point. Those bastards can only be described as incompetent and greedy.
Seeing that no one spoke, Emperor Longqing said to Hu Yong: "Hu Aiqing, your cabinet has always been responsible for the affairs of Shaanxi. Now that this situation has come to this, should you give me an explanation? Is it true that our officials and generals in Shaanxi are all Are they some trash? They can't even deal with those mobs, and they are being beaten back and forth. They are so incompetent." Hu Yong had a bitter look on his face, and he did not expect that the situation in Shaanxi would deteriorate to this point.
But now, what can he say? He sighed secretly in his heart, knelt down on the ground, and said respectfully: "I know my crime, and I am willing to be punished by your Majesty."
