Chapter 1147 Extra 15Giving birth

The north wind is howling and the snow is flying. In the corner of the room, four braziers were burning brightly, and the room, which was not too big, was warm without a trace of chill.

Mo Yan was leaning softly on the couch, with a thick blanket covering her lower body. She was holding a medical book and looking at the heavy snow outside the window in a daze.

At this time, the thick door curtain opened a crack, and a tall and handsome figure walked in quietly, carrying a bit of refreshing chill on his body.

Looking at his wife who was quietly watching the snow in front of the window, Xiao Ruiyuan did not walk over immediately. He came to the nearby brazier and stood for a while. When the chill in his body disappeared, he stomped to his wife's side and held her hand.

Mo Yan raised her head, with a hint of surprise on her face: "You're back? Has the matter been settled?"

Something happened in the capital before. Emperor Hui'an urgently summoned Xiao Ruiyuan into the palace. He was there for more than ten days. On the one hand, Mo Yan was thinking about it, and on the other hand, she was worried that he would do something dangerous. She couldn't sleep well these days. .

"Yeah." Xiao Ruiyuan responded lightly and lifted the blanket to his wife: "There should be no more trouble during the year. We can stay until the seventh day of the twelfth lunar month."

The seventh day of the twelfth lunar month has passed and it is the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month. We must go back. The first Laba Festival in the house cannot be without the master and the hostess.

Mo Yan felt a little sad after hearing this: "The life here is too leisurely. There are hot springs in winter. I don't want to go back."

Listening to her childish words, Xiao Ruiyuan couldn't help but pinch her slightly bulging cheeks: "If you like it here, we can come back after the Chinese New Year, and we can live here until you give birth to the child."

After hearing this, Mo Yan was quite moved. Just as she was about to nod in agreement, she suddenly remembered her mother who was also pregnant in Liujia. She shook her head and said, "Forget it. My mother and I will have a baby around the same time. If I really have a baby, After birth, it will be difficult to arrange the baptismal ceremony and full-moon ceremony for these two children. We cannot let my father and the others come all the way here."

The place where the couple is currently is a hot spring village left to him by Xiao Ruiyuan's mother. The village is located sixty miles east of the city. The place is relatively remote, but it is a good place with beautiful scenery and natural hot springs to soak in.

There are only the couple left here. Cui Qingrou and Liu Tinglan were taken back by their husbands half a month ago. Xin'er and Sheng'er were also worried that the salted eggs would be out of stock, so they also returned to Beijing together.

The salted egg business of the two is now doing very well. After excluding costs, the daily income has reached as much as 10 taels, which is 300 taels of silver in a month, which is better than Xin'er's hard work for a year of embroidery work.

However, Xin'er prefers to embroider complicated and gorgeous screens and make beautiful clothes. She only spends half a day making salted eggs every day, and the rest of her time is still spent on embroidery.

With the two compartments added together, the money saved is enough to buy half an embroidery shop. Xin'er planned to work as a salted egg for another two years, and as soon as she saved up enough money, she would buy a shop and open an embroidery shop. She was determined not to take the money sponsored by Mo Yanhe's family.

Xiao Ruiyuan thought about it for a while and felt it was inappropriate, so he said, "Then we will come back when the child is one month old. Then we will also bring the mother-in-law and brother-in-law. I heard from the father-in-law that the mother-in-law's baby is a boy."

Mo Yan sat up suddenly and asked anxiously: "Are you sure? The mother is really carrying a younger brother?"

Seeing his wife's large movements, Xiao Ruiyuan was so startled that his heart almost jumped out of his chest. He quickly stretched out his hand to hold her down: "Be careful, don't twist your waist."

Mo Yan waved her hands, twisting her still flexible waist and said: "Don't be afraid, I haven't grown into a big fat man, so it's easy to twist my waist. You'd better tell me whether my mother is pregnant with a boy or a girl. "

Xiao Ruiyuan was worried and hugged his wife directly, then leaned on the soft couch, holding her tightly in his arms to prevent her from moving: "The Cui family found a famous imperial doctor from the Imperial Hospital and a famous doctor from Beijing. The midwives looked at it and they both said that my mother-in-laws baby was a boy.

Mo Yan nodded and said happily: "It would be great if this baby is really a younger brother. Zhen'er has only one boy in the family. After all, it's too weak."

Although Yun Zhao is the adopted son of the Mo family, and no one in the Mo family treats him as an outsider, Yun Zhao's surname is Yun after all, and even if he changes his surname in the future, he will change his surname back to Mu. He is really not a child of the Mo family.

Xiao Ruiyuan smiled slightly and held his wife's hand tightly: someone else would probably prefer his stepmother to give birth to a younger sister!

Mo Yan touched her belly again, turned around and asked the man: "I don't know whether this is a son or a daughter in my belly. Do you want to invite someone to come and take a look when you return to the city?"

There are no modern medical equipment here. You can know whether a child is a boy or a girl before he is born. However, experienced doctors and midwives can tell based on the pregnant woman's appearance. Although it's not that accurate, I'm still 70-80% sure.

Xiao Ruiyuan's hand gently caressed his wife's semi-curved belly, and a flash of expectation flashed in his eyes: "My husband hopes that this baby will be a daughter, a daughter like you."

"Daughter?" This was the first time that Mo Yan heard a man express his expectation for a daughter so clearly. She was surprised and asked with some bad intentions: "My parents said that the Xiao family has few heirs, so they are all looking forward to my pregnancy." It's a son. What if you really think of this baby as a daughter and I don't want to have another baby?"

Xiao Ruiyuan frowned and chose to tell the truth: "Having a daughter alone would be a bit lonely. My husband hopes that my wife can give birth to a son and a daughter. However, my wife is not willing to give birth to a child, and I will not force you to do so."

Seeing that the man didn't seem to be telling lies, Mo Yan felt happy and leaned over to kiss the corner of his mouth as a reward.

The heavy snow fell intermittently for less than half a month. Only four or five days after the weather cleared, the snow everywhere melted completely, and the snow on the road evaporated cleanly under the sunlight.

Mo Yan didn't want to go back to Beijing, so he stayed there for several days, until on the seventh day of the twelfth lunar month, he couldn't bear it anymore and had to pack up his things and return to the general's mansion.

At this time, Mo Yan's belly was already seven months old, and her belly was as round as if it had a big watermelon stuffed inside it. If nothing unexpected happened, the baby would be born in early March next year.

As soon as he returned to the General's Mansion, Mo Yan sent someone to deliver the news to the Mo family and the Shen family, and then made arrangements for the Laba Festival tomorrow. After the Laba Festival, there are the Little New Year and the New Year, and each family has to prepare New Year's gifts. If you need anything, you have to buy it immediately. If you delay, the New Year's gifts will not be given out.

Xiao Ruiyuan didn't want his wife to work hard for a New Year's Day, so he took over these matters and arranged them himself, regardless of whether he, a man, should get involved in these trivial matters.

In this way, Mo Yan has some free time. If she has nothing to do, she can check out the medical skills, or ask the cook to make delicious food to reward her hard-working husband. She wanted to make it herself, but Xiao Ruiyuan wouldn't let her step into the kitchen at all.

In the eyes of people who dont know how to cook, the kitchen is full of dangers. If you are not careful, you may be in danger of burns, scalding, or even slipping. This is a place where ordinary people can only do it, but pregnant women are not allowed to enter even half a step.

After more than ten days of busy work, all the New Year matters were finally arranged before Little New Years Eve. The couple relaxed for a few days before welcoming New Year's Eve.

This is the first year after the two got married, and both Mo Yan and Xiao Ruiyuan attach great importance to this year. Although the two people's New Year (the child has not yet been born, so not counting) seems a bit deserted, Xiao Ruiyuan is very attentive. Not only did the housekeeper buy a large number of firecrackers, he also had people tie red, purple, and yellow colors on the grass and trees in the yard. The artificial flowers and even the green leaves were not forgotten to decorate.

Suddenly, the slightly bleak General's Mansion was completely transformed, becoming full of vitality and greenery everywhere. If it hadn't been for the still cold weather, Mo Yan would have thought that spring had arrived overnight and March had entered.

This kind of dress is beautiful, but the fake flowers and green leaves are made of silk. On the one hand, Mo Yan feels sad that so much fabric has been used like this, which is really a bit extravagant and wasteful. On the other hand, she feels the man's heart and joy. I've had it.

It turned out that this matter was accidentally spread by the servants in the house. It was originally a sigh of appreciation for Mo Yan and Xiao Ruiyuan's deep love as husband and wife, and Xiao Ruiyuan doting on his wife, but in the eyes of interested people, it was not the same thing.

So before the New Year was over, someone couldn't help but jump out, stir up the censor's excerpts, and hit Xiao Ruiyuan hard. Not only did he accuse Xiao Ruiyuan of being extravagant and wasteful, but he also ridiculed him for being a short-tempered hero and unworthy of the title of "God of War", let alone sitting in the position of general.

Xiao Ruiyuan has an upright temperament, looks cold and unkind, and usually does things the right way, so it is inevitable that he will offend some people. Normally, these people look amiable, but they may be jealous in their hearts. In the past, they couldn't get hold of Xiao Ruiyuan, so they couldn't do anything. Now that they have a rare opportunity to add insult to injury, how could they let it go in vain?

Furthermore, Xiao Ruiyuan asked for half a year's leave. Except for Chu Heng, Yan Junyu and other insiders, no one in the court believed that he would really take leave to accompany his wife. In the eyes of most people, his wife is as important as clothes and his own future is not?

Thinking about it this way, we can only think that Xiao Ruiyuan violated Emperor Hui'an's taboo and was disliked by Emperor Hui'an. Emperor Hui'an gave him half a year's leave on the surface, but in fact he was giving him a cold shoulder and deliberately isolated him from the center of the political power.

If the people who initially added insult to injury were at odds with Xiao Ruiyuan, then most of the people who agreed later thought they had guessed Emperor Hui'an's thoughts, and wanted to punish Xiao Ruiyuan harshly, so as to please Emperor Hui'an and get a chance to get promoted and make a fortune. .

Unexpectedly, Emperor Hui'an did not make any move when the snowflake-like folding paper was delivered to the Imperial Study Room. Those officials could bear it at first, but as the New Year was coming to an end, there was still no movement in the palace. There was not even a word of reprimand, let alone punishment.

This disappointed all the officials involved in the matter, and they were worried that they had misjudged Emperor Hui'an's thoughts and would be disliked by Emperor Hui'an. They were also afraid of being retaliated by Xiao Ruiyuan afterwards. They had always known that Xiao Ruiyuan, who was named the God of War, had never been Easy to mess with.

"You, you are still the same as before, you like to endure everything. Fortunately, my father is aware of everything, otherwise a reprimand is inevitable."

In the Prince's Mansion, Chu Heng couldn't help but shook his head when he looked at his cousin who looked calm and was not affected by this bad thing at all.

It was obvious that the flowers and leaves were made with leftover materials bought from the cloth shop. However, this cousin did not explain a single sentence and allowed others to throw dirty water. I really dont know if he believed his father in a big heart. The emperor would not accuse him unjustly, but he still didn't care and didn't take those people seriously at all.

Xiao Ruiyuan glanced at Chu Heng and said quietly: "If the Holy One doesn't believe me, wouldn't I still have you, cousin?"

"You...you better be more careful in the future!" A look of helplessness appeared on Chu Heng's face, but the smile at the corner of his mouth revealed his true emotions, "By the way, He Jia is about to give birth, right?"

Seeing that his cousin was unwilling to talk more, Chu Heng thought of another thing and said half-jokingly and half-seriously: "Yao'er is already two years old. If your family gives birth to a daughter, it would be perfect for her to be my cousin's daughter-in-law. You really Dont you think about it?

"I won't consider it!" Xiao Ruiyuan said with a cold face and refused without hesitation: "If this baby is a daughter, when she grows up, I will choose a son-in-law for her."

"Son-in-law?" Chu Heng was surprised at first, then nodded in understanding, and said with a smile: "That's right, you made Hejia baby like that, and when the girl comes out, I don't know how she will be pampered by you. Most people can't afford to marry her, so it's better to just settle for a cheap cousin."

Xiao Ruiyuan glanced at Chu Heng and said lightly: "I just don't want her to marry into someone else's family and be wronged, and I don't want her future son-in-law to be unable to beat or scold her!"

Chu Heng:

Such an in-law is so scary, he might as well not want it...
