He held the letter in his hand and stared blankly at the content on it.
He and Yueling's daughter?
A child-like Yueling appeared in his mind unconsciously - a pink and jade-carved little face, a proud and smart expression...
Yuan Suijun couldn't help but curl up the corner of his mouth. A daughter who looks like Yueling must be very cute and very good at acting coquettishly.
Just imagining it made him feel hopeful.
His and Yueling's daughter must be the cutest girl in the world besides Yueling and Baoshu.
If she is a daughter, she cannot be as strict as she is when teaching her son.
Su Yueling also asked him in the letter to write some innocent and interesting stories suitable for children, saying they were for prenatal education.
As for the baby's daily necessities, Yuan Suijun doesn't need to prepare them. The house has already prepared them completely, and there are both boys and girls, so he doesn't need to worry about it. But this story...how should I write it?
Yuan Suijun often wrote stories for Su Yueling, but this was the first time he wrote stories for children.
It happened that Su Dashan and Su Liao came to the capital to prepare for their son's marriage. Yuan Suijun thought he could ask them. He felt that if the child likes to listen to stories, he must be like Yueling.
When Su Dashan and his wife were called over, it could be said that they were at a loss, "A story that Yueling liked to hear when she was a child?"
Su Dashan really didn't know this aspect, after all, he didn't take care of the children at all. Su Liao, on the other hand, racked her brains over there to recall what happened to Su Yueling when she was a child. Yueling helped her find a good daughter-in-law like Yang Chunxi,
Mrs. Su Liao still hopes to be able to help her.
She thought for a long time and finally dug out some clues from the depths of her memory, "Yes, I remembered it!"
She clapped her hands and said, "In the past, when I told the story about Mr. Quarantine having an affair with a village widow and having his legs broken by the widow's family, Yue Ling was very excited and kept clapping her hands."
"She has loved hearing these stories since she was a child."
Yuan Suijun: "..."
Not only did Yueling like to listen to it when she was a child, she also likes to listen to it now, so the members of the Yuebu have to collect interesting gossip about the capital for her every month. These stories are just for adults to listen to, but they are not suitable for children to listen to.
If you do too much, you will be afraid of changing your temperament.
Girls need to be more careful in their education than boys. For example, if he hears too many stories about talented people and beautiful women, he will regard himself as the protagonist in the storybook. When he meets a man with a straight head and a straight face, he will be attracted by sweet words.
He was coaxed over easily.
With that, Yuan Suijun suddenly had inspiration - he knew what story he wanted to write.
Yuan Suijun said gently: "Thank you, auntie, for the reminder."
Su Liao asked: "How is Yueling's pregnancy going?"
Because she was busy with the engagement, Mrs. Su Liao really couldn't go up to the mountain to stay with Su Yueling for a while. When she and her husband came back, they also brought the rewards they had received before to the capital, preparing to use them as betrothal gifts.
The engagement day of a wealthy family was a complicated affair. If Aunt Zheng hadn't been there to help, she would have been dizzy.
The smile on Yuan Suijun's face was more genuine and gentle, "The pregnancy is very good, and there will be a little princess in the house soon."
Princess!
Does that mean this baby is a daughter?
Su Liao was a little disappointed immediately, but after seeing the undisguised tender joy on Yuan Suijun's face, her original uneasiness dissipated a lot.
She hurriedly said: "My daughter is so good, she is so promising. The daughters of our family are very capable."
She thought that during this period, she could take time to make some small clothes for her grandniece.
Yuan Suijun originally didn't care about male or female, as long as it was his and Yueling's child. But now he also feels that it would be better to have a daughter like Yueling.
Yuan Suijun was still busy writing stories for his storybook and soon returned to his study.
After he left, Su Dashan sighed, "It's a pity that this baby is not a son." Otherwise, Yueling would not have to worry about it in the future.
Su Liao's mentality has been adjusted, "Master, have you forgotten? The emperor said before that Yueling's daughter will be a princess as soon as she is born. Fortunately she is a daughter, otherwise the princess's quota will be wasted. Look at how good this child is
Choose the time to be reincarnated and enjoy the blessings, you are born to be a princess."
"Besides, other families raise sons for old age. Do you think Yueling and Suijun need sons to take care of themselves in old age?"
She and Sui Jun, one is a princess and the other is a county prince. In the future, the incense will be enshrined by the royal family for generations.
When Su Dashan heard what she said, he immediately felt that it would be good to have a daughter. In this way, there were two princesses in the family. Who in the capital could be more prominent than their family? A hundred sons from other families would not be worth the weight of one daughter in their family.
The reason why Su Liao's views have changed so much is simply because there are two role models, Su Yueling and Yuan Baoshu. These two people are more capable than men. Let's not talk about Su Yueling. Yuan Baoshu also came out.
It has a great reputation, and such a large textile factory and cloth shop are all well maintained.
…
Because there were no major festivals or memorial ceremonies during this period, and there were no foreign envoys, Yuan Suijun rarely had any leisure time in his work.
But he was just as busy every day, only this time he was busy writing the story Su Yueling asked for.
Ten days later, the two stories he had bound into a volume were delivered to Zhuangzi in Luoshan, and were personally taken into the hands of Su Yueling.
Su Yueling had just returned from fishing when she saw something Yuan Suijun had sent over.
There are two copies!
She couldn't wait to flip through it. The one on the top was still Su Yueling's favorite story about imagination and magic. It was obviously written for her.
The one below is probably written for children.
She compared it and found that her copy was thicker than the one for the child.
Very good, Su Yueling is happy.
She sat down and read the story Yuan Suijun wrote for her. Yuan Suijun's skills were still very stable, and the story was particularly fascinating. After reading one article, she did not continue reading the next one, and quickly turned to the next one.
The story of her daughter. Su Yueling was very curious about what subject Yuan Suijun would write about for his daughter.
Yes, when Dr. Zheng took her pulse, he said he was 80% sure that she was a daughter. Su Yueling was 100% sure that she was a daughter through the system, so she told Yuan Suijun about it.
What surprised her was that this book was actually written about a talented scholar and a beautiful woman, and it was a very common routine on the market.
Su Yueling:??
Is Yuan Suijun just perfunctory with his future daughter?
So angry!
Su Yueling held back her anger and continued reading.
In the first half, a noble girl falls in love with a poor scholar and wants to marry him even against the wishes of her elders. Then after marrying him, she digs wild vegetables to support her family.
The second half is about the title of the scholar, but he did not cherish his wife who shared the joys and sorrows with him. Instead, he despised his wife for seeing him in his most embarrassing appearance, so he took in a room after room of beautiful concubines. He also despised his legitimate son for not being outstanding enough.
I want to have more bastards.
While Su Yueling became more and more angry as he watched, the scholar indulged in beauty day after day, and finally died of a sudden stroke.
The end result was that his wife tampered with the food he usually ate, making him weaker and weaker, and even administered sterilization drugs to him.
Su Yueling took this storybook and fell into thinking: Does Yuan Suijun hope that his daughter will not be a lover in the future? Or should he stop his losses in time when he encounters someone who is not kind to him?
Her expression became subtle - a daughter taught by such a story would feel very cruel.
