After sending Xu Chunqiao out, the Xu family rested for three days.
Just because the wedding date follows the Chinese New Year, and I haven't recovered from the fatigue of the New Year, I have become busy again, which is really too much.
Xu Chunjun caught up with his little life and probably caught a cold some time ago. In the past few days, he only felt pain in his waist and abdomen, so he stayed in his room.
Ziling took some moxa to fumigate her, and asked her mother-in-law to make brown sugar wine to drink.
A few days later, Xu Lang came back, and Xu Chunjun went to the front to accompany him. The female relatives of the family gathered together to have tea and snacks, and talk about family affairs.
Mrs. Song said: "Since everyone is here today, I will say something. I have long thought that it will be the great master's birthday in a few days, and I have not been able to give him a good life for so many years. I can't say anything this year.
We can’t be careless, just say that our second master is not at home, but I have to take care of it all by myself, even if there are some unexpected things, you all must remind me to make this birthday banquet a success."
When she said this, everyone said: "You are right, I must give the elder a good birthday this year."
"The second daughter-in-law is really interested. If there is anything missing here, just go to our place and get it. If I don't have it, buy it. I will pay for it." Xu Lang said with a smile, "The same will happen to the second brother and the third brother in the future.
."
"I know Third Aunt that you are very wealthy now, so I won't be polite." Second Grandma said, "I will make plans with the manager first to see what is needed."
Although Chen Qin is not an official, the Chen family has a lot of private studies every year.
Moreover, there are always people coming to ask for his calligraphy and painting, or asking him to write epitaphs, and the retouching fees are even more staggering.
He handed over his money and property to Xu Lang, and Xu Lang was a good manager.
We went through all the properties and shops in detail, and found that except for Tianzihao, which we hired tenant farmers to work on, the rest of the properties were rented out.
As for the business, if you can run it yourself, find a reliable accountant, and if you can't run it, rent it out.
I even sold a few lots or houses with problems at a discount, and used the money to exchange for a good house on the street.
After some planning, Chen Qin's property almost doubled.
But he didn't care about this at all, as long as Xu Lang didn't get tired.
"Try these preserves. The third wife specially sent someone to buy them." Ms. Song personally brought over a large plate of preserves and said, "It's clean and delicious."
There is nothing unusual about candied fruits, and there are many snacks on the table.
But Mrs. Song said this deliberately just to make Mrs. Wei look better.
In any case, she is also the wife of the family. She has been quarreled and punished, and should be eased off.
Otherwise, everyone would be talking and laughing here, and the two of them would be embarrassed, and everyone would feel uncomfortable.
Therefore, when Mrs. Song said this, everyone also cheered.
Everyone grabbed a handful and said it was delicious.
Sure enough, Wei's face looked much better than before.
After a while, the maid next to Xu Lang, Yanyu, came over and looked for dried plums in the dried fruit plate on the table.
Grandma Yang grabbed her and asked in a low voice: "Girl, when did you start to like sour food?"
Yanyu blushed, but said with a smile: "It's not me who wants to eat, it's our wife who wants to eat."
The eldest and second wives on the side couldn't help but feel a little surprised after hearing this. They turned to Xu Lang and asked: "Third sister, are you pregnant?"
Xu Lang's face turned red before he spoke, and he said: "It's been more than two months. I plan to wait until three months have passed before talking."
Everyone was happy for her after hearing this.
The eldest lady said: "Amitabha, this is a great good thing! You must be very careful. It's so easy for you to get it at your age. You have to be safe and sound at all times, otherwise it's not a joke."
"
The second wife also said: "Always ask the doctor to look at you. If you want to eat, ask the people below to make it for you. Are you making a fuss or not? It's best if you don't make a fuss. If you do, it's okay. You can eat after vomiting.
You can't vomit all the time. The more you eat, the faster the baby in your belly will grow!"
Xu Chunjun was also as happy as anything. After having a child, Xu Lang's life would be even happier.
"Does uncle know?" Grandma Yang asked.
"I didn't tell him. I wasn't sure about the date. I didn't come for two months before I thought about asking the doctor to take a look." Xu Lang said, "Didn't he go to Dongdu these days? He will come back the day after tomorrow."
"How happy his uncle will be if he finds out!" said the second wife, "Third sister, you are really a blessed person!"
"There are only a few of these sour plums. If I had known about it, I would have bought more." Wei said sarcastically, wanting to laugh but her smile didn't look very good.
Very few people usually eat such sour food, so they grab a handful just for decoration.
"These are enough." Xu Lang said to Wei, "Is Dao Qing feeling better? I'm still thinking of going to see him later! His uncle said that there is a doctor named Yun in Dongdu who is very good at treating bone diseases.
, if he can meet him this time, I will definitely invite him to give Dao Qing a good look."
When she mentioned her son, Wei's eyes became soft and sad.
Aunt Qin next to her also lowered her head slightly.
She knew that even if Wei could forgive everyone in the family, he would not forgive her, even though she had done nothing.
Xu Chunjun saw her embarrassment and said, "Aunt Qin, I see you look very bad. Are you uncomfortable somewhere?"
Aunt Qin shook her head and wanted to say no, but suddenly she felt dizzy and could hardly stand.
Fortunately, the little girl next to her helped her.
"What's going on? Please ask a doctor to come and take a look." Xu Lang said.
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. I think it's because spring has come and the Yang Qi rises." Qin Luzhi said calmly.
"It's not troublesome. Anyway, there happens to be a doctor at the eldest master's side." Song's housekeeper is very clear about the affairs at home. "I'll ask someone to ask if he's still here. If he is, I'll ask him to come to you soon."
Take a look."
The old man gets a cough every spring, and this year is no exception.
However, in previous years, we could only stay close to each other outside the Great Wall, but it was different when we returned to the capital. Doctors came to consult us every day.
Aunt Qin is a smart person. Although she has not been in the government for a long time, she is very respected.
And because she was sent in by Xu Lang, everyone looked at her highly.
Mrs. Song called Xu Chunjun and helped Aunt Qin out with her.
Before the doctor who treated the eldest man left, he checked Aunt Qin's pulse, then stood up and said congratulations: "This aunt is now pregnant, and she has been pregnant for nearly two months."
Aunt Qin herself had some guesses, but she didn't dare to be convinced. Now that she heard what the doctor said, her heart dropped completely.
Mrs. Song and Xu Chunjun were very happy and asked someone to take the reward and send the doctor out.
The news that Aunt Qin was pregnant soon spread throughout the Xu family, but some people were happy and some were worried.
