Rebirth of the High Gate Mistress

Chapter 265 Two Boys

 Xu Wanning cast a "you understand" look at Li Ling, turned around and walked side by side towards Qingfeng Garden with Jing Shu and Pingyang.

When the three of them returned to Qingfeng Garden, before they could sit down, Xu Wanning took out a few pages of yellowed paper from her sleeves, shook them in her hands, and said to Jing Shu: "Do you know what this is? "

Jingshu said doubtfully: "It's just two pages of old paper."

Xu Wanning spread the paper on the table and said with joy, "This is the prenatal picture that my natal sister-in-law got from outside the feudal clan. From this, we can know the gender of the child in her belly."

After hearing this, Jing Shu looked at the piece of paper attentively, and saw that it was densely packed with incomprehensible words and graphics. She frowned slightly: "What is on it? I can't see it at all." Understand, is this thing accurate?"

Xu Wanning smiled mysteriously and said: "My sister-in-law has already told me how to read this picture." After that, she ordered the little girl in the room: "Bring paper and pen."

After a while, the little girl took out a pen and paper, and Xu Wanning said to Jingshu: "Write down your birthday and the date of your last monthly letter to me."

With nothing to do, Jingshu started writing as Xu Wanning said and pushed it to Xu Wanning.

Xu Wanning smiled and said: "Wait a moment, let me calculate it slowly."

Jingshu looked at Xu Wanning's serious look and joked with a smile: "I think your posture looks a bit like a fortune teller on the street."

Xu Wanning ignored Ren Jingshu's jokes and just sat by looking at the picture and calculating attentively.

Ziyun and Danzhu came in with tea cups and placed them in front of several people one by one: "The tea has been cooked, ladies and gentlemen, let's have a taste."

Jingshu looked at Xu Wanning, who was distracted, and interrupted: "The plum tea has just been fried, let's try it first before settling on it."

Seeing that Xu Wanning still turned a deaf ear, Jingshu couldn't help but smile and flatten her mouth, and said to Pingyang on the side: "This is the first time I have seen my sister-in-law be so concerned about her."

Pingyang put down the tea cup and replied with a smile: "I'm also curious about the results calculated by my sister-in-law."

Jing Shu looked close to Xu Wanning again. Seeing her sketching something, she couldn't figure out why. She simply sat back and said to Pingyang: "It will take a while for me to see you, sister-in-law. Let's wait for a while." Let’s have some tea first.”

Pingyang picked up the teacup, took a sip, and praised: "Second Sister-in-law's tea is really good. No wonder every time I go to my mother's place and drink tea with her, my mother always praises Second Sister-in-law for how good the tea is."

Jingshu smiled and replied: "This method is not difficult. If you want to learn it, I will teach you another day."

As the two sipped a cup of tea, Xu Wanning said in surprise: "Oh! It's out, it's out!"

Jingshu and Pingyang hurriedly came over, stared at the piece of paper with Xu Wanning's colorful sketches, and asked in unison: "Is it a man or a woman?"

Xu Wanning stretched out **** towards Jingshu: "It's two boys."

After hearing this, Jing Shu took a long breath and said angrily to Xu Wanning: "Originally, I believed it twice, but from this point of view, this thing is completely untrustworthy."

After hearing this, Xu Wanning was unconvinced and said: "How do you know this is unbelievable? Not to mention the birth of two, even the birth of three or four."

Jingshu retorted disdainfully: "Those are just special cases."

"How do you know your pregnancy won't be an exception?" As she spoke, Xu Wanning put the yellowed paper back into her sleeve pocket like a baby.

Pingyang looked at his two sisters-in-law and said, "Whether this thing is accurate or not will be known after the baby falls to the ground."

Jingshu nodded and asked Xu Wanning, "Has sister-in-law calculated whether the baby in your belly is a boy or a girl?"

Xu Wanning picked up the teacup and took a sip, and replied: "Of course I have calculated that it is a girl." Jingshu smiled and said: "Well, when the child lands, we will know whether your method is trustworthy. If Believe it or not, if there is another pregnant woman in the house in the future, we can use this to predict the gender in advance."

Xu Wanning put down the tea cup and looked at Pingyang and said, "Three younger siblings, please hold on tight. When you get pregnant, I can use this to help you calculate."

As soon as Pingyang heard this, his cheeks turned red and he hesitated: "Sister-in-law, don't make fun of me."

Jingshu glared at Xu Wanning: "I am still a bride in Pingyang, so don't talk nonsense."

Xu Wanning said carelessly: "What's the matter? I was pregnant with Brother Kun when I was a bride."

Jingshu smiled and joked: "You are not as capable as any of us."

Xu Wanning chuckled loudly, pointed at Jingshu and said to Pingyang: "Don't look at how polite your second sister-in-law is on weekdays, but you never imagined that she would say such nasty things."

 “This is not a dirty talk, don’t arrange it for me randomly.”

Ping Yang listened to the two sisters-in-law joking with each other, and he blushed and covered his mouth and giggled.

The three of them were drinking tea and chatting here. Outside the door, a message came that the mother-in-law came in and said that Gong Ji Qingyin was outside asking for an audience.

As soon as Xu Wanning heard that Gong Ji was coming, the smile on her face immediately faded, and she muttered: "What is she here for?"

This Qingyin has been in the house for a while, and he is considered an honest person. This is the first time he asks to see Jingshu.

Jingshu said to Tongzhuan: "Let her come in."

After a while, Qingyin slowly entered with Guqin in her arms. She respectfully saluted several people and said, "I have met several ladies in my family."

Jingshu saw that she was behaving upright and politely, with a faint smile on her face, and asked, "Are you looking for me for something?"

Qingyin then saluted Jingshu alone and said: "Qingyin has been taking care of me since I came into the house. In the past few days, I just performed my duties and played two songs for my wife. My wife then ordered people to reward me with many clothes and brocades. I am humble. There is no way I can repay Madam's kindness, so I am just asking to see you today because I want to play music for Madam to relieve her boredom."

　　He is a man who repays his kindness and his words are impeccable. Jing Shu did like the music she played, but she knew that Xu Wanning was most impatient to listen to elegant music.

Although Xu Wanning hated these girls who played lyrics and sang songs the most, she thought Jing Shu liked them.

 “There’s no need to play,” Jing Shu said.

 “You come and play.” Xu Wanning said.

Because both of them were thinking about the other's preferences, they each expressed what the other was thinking. As soon as the words came out, the two looked at each other and smiled.

Pingyang saw the whole story and smiled and said to the two sisters-in-law: "The two sisters-in-law are doing this, which makes it difficult for Haosheng to play the music."

Xu Wanning chuckled and said to Qingyin: "Second Madam felt comfortable when she listened to the music you played last time. Just pick something she likes again."

Qingyin nodded slightly and replied respectfully: "I obey my orders."

The maid brought the piano stand, Qingyin put down the guqin, and slowly sat down. Her bare hands were clear, and the elegant and beautiful music spread throughout the room.
