Rebirth of the High Gate Mistress

Chapter 287 The Duke Erlang is here

 It rains heavily this year. During the flood season in July, the Yellow River overflows.

When Li Xian was serving in the Ministry of Civil Affairs, he was ordered to supervise the flood control errands. Therefore, this time the Yellow River flooded, Emperor Ming sent Li Xian again, but because he was now on duty in the Ministry of Works, this time it was not to supervise, but to supervise. Responsible for controlling floods.

Xu Wanning is about to give birth, and Li Xian is not at home. Jingshu has to go to Bitangju almost every day.

Since she has already given birth to two children, Xu Wanning is considered a veteran when it comes to giving birth, so she is not nervous about this one.

The two of them were sitting on the soft couch, eating fruit and chatting. Aunt Qiu came in happily holding a pile of small clothes and quilts, placed them on the couch and said, "Auntie Ping and Auntie Wang made these for this child with their own hands. Look at how detailed the stitching is."

The two aunts in Xu Wanning's yard knew their duties. Li Xian was originally indifferent to them. A while ago, Li Xian was too sick to stand up. The two aunts never imagined that Li Xian could still stand up. Xu Wanning asked When they went to wait on him, they ran away one by one, shoving away each other. Now that Li Xian is getting better, he will naturally hold a grudge and hate the two of them even more. If Xu Wanning hadn't been kind-hearted and Li Xian's jealous nature, he would have driven them to Zhuangzi. Now these two people are relying on Xu Wanning for their livelihood, how can they not be attentive.

Xu Wanning flipped through the small items made by her two aunts for the unborn child, and muttered: "Not to mention, these two female celebrities are really good, oh my, I just can't make these things. "

Jing Shu also looked at the things made by the two of them carefully, and couldn't help but praise them, but seeing that these things were all fresh and tender pink, she smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, are you really sure that this baby is a daughter? "

Xu Wanning said firmly: "Isn't this a sure thing? You see, I have deduced for you that it is twins. Now the imperial doctor has also diagnosed it like this. It can be seen that the pregnancies outside the vassal are accurate."

As he spoke, Xu Wanning stroked her bulging belly lovingly and said with a smile, "This daughter is quite lucky."

Li Xian is now a prodigal son, and he is completely obedient to Xu Wanning. Xu Wanning no longer has to worry about his concubine. Even the difficult Guo family, because Li Xian protects his wife in every possible way, can no longer be as present as before. Xu Wanning came forward to act arrogantly.

Xu Wanning can now be said to have experienced happiness after all her hardships.

Jingshu has always been close to Xu Wanning. Seeing that her life is going smoothly now, Jingshu is naturally happy, so she half-jokingly said, "In that case, why not call this little girl Sister Fu when she is born."

 “What a good name. This is much better than the messy names your elder brother gave me.”

Xu Wanning touched her belly and said with a smile: "That's good now. We even have a name. Good luck, Sister Fu. Mom is waiting for you to come out."

The two of them were chatting here when Xu Wanning's personal maid, Si'er, came in and said happily to the two of them: "Madam, what a happy event. I just heard from the people at Xianglinyuan that the third lady has been diagnosed with a happy pulse. .”

“Oh, this is such a happy event.” Xu Wanning shouted with a smile.

Jingshu smiled and said, "Let's go over and take a look."

 “Let’s go.”

With that said, Xu Wanning slowly stood up and muttered: "This year, our family is really prosperous."

As soon as the two of them walked to the door, Xu Wanning suddenly said: "I have to take the prediction chart with me to help my third brother and sister figure out whether her first born is a boy or a girl."

With that said, Xu Wanning turned around and took out the wedding plan from under the dowry. She put it in her sleeve pocket like a treasure, and then she and Jing Shu went out.

As soon as the two of them left the gate of Bitangju, Xu Wanning, who was still in high spirits, suddenly said "Ouch" and covered her stomach.

The girls quickly supported her, and Jingshu asked anxiously: "What's going on?"

Xu Wanning replied: "I'm afraid she's about to give birth." Upon hearing this, Jingshu quickly called on the maids and women to help Xu Wanning back to the house. Aunt Qiu called the midwife who had been prepared early, and Bi Tang stayed inside. Suddenly he was busy.

Jing Shuhou was outside. Before she could recover from Xu Wanning's sudden attack, she heard the loud cry of a baby coming from inside.

“Second Madam, look at it, it’s a young master.” Aunt Qiu presented the little baby wrapped in pink swaddling clothes to Jing Shu.

 “Are you okay, sister-in-law?” Jing Shu blurted out and asked.

"The pregnancy was so fast that my wife didn't suffer much." Aunt Qiu said happily.

Jingshu then looked at the little baby. The fat and white boy was wrapped in pink swaddling clothes, crying hard with his mouth open. Jingshu took it lovingly, held it in her arms, patted it, and faced Qiu. Auntie joked: "This child cries so loudly, maybe he doesn't like this pink swaddle."

Mother Qiu’s face turned into a smile, and she laughed and said: “Madam, she is definitely a girl, and she is prepared as a girl, haha.”

As soon as Aunt Qiu said these words, the little boy in Jingshu’s arms cried even harder.

Aunt Qiu took the baby and said, "I'll ask the wet nurse to give her some milk."

Jingshu entered the inner room and saw that Xu Wanning was in good spirits. She was completely relieved and said with a smile: "You are so impatient, you are also so impatient to give birth to a child."

Xu Wanning smiled and said, "Isn't this my third child? I didn't give birth to Brother Kun so quickly."

Jingshu smiled and said: "This child was born very strong and cried loudly."

Xu Wanning replied: "I always thought she was a girl, but I didn't expect that she turned into a boy in the end."

While the two were talking here, the old lady and Pingyang got Xin'er and rushed over. Aunt Qiu carried the crying baby to the old lady, and murmured with a smile: "This child will always be there after he is born." Crying, the wet nurse didn’t even drink the milk she gave him just now.”

The old lady looked at the little great-grandson who was crying loudly, smiled and murmured: "Look, our little boy is wearing a pink bellyband and a pink swaddling bag, can we not cry? ?”

Xu Wanning, who was lying on the bed, smiled and said: "I always thought it was a daughter. I have prepared these, so it doesn't matter! He is so young, how can he tell the difference? Let's just make do with it."

As soon as Xu Wanning said these words, Xiao Erlang seemed to understand and cried louder.

Jingshu smiled and said: "Who said that Erlang is easy to fool when he is young? Just now I told Aunt Qiu about this, and he reacted in the same way, which shows that this little guy is really not satisfied with the clothes."

With that said, Jingshu told Ziyun: "Go and get some of the clothes we have prepared and try them on."

Ziyun happily agreed and returned to Qingfeng Garden. After a while, he took out a pile of clothes and bedding originally prepared for the baby in Jingshu's belly.

The old lady put down Erlang in her arms, carefully took off his tender and tender bellyband embroidered with small flowers, put on the azure blue robe embroidered with the word "Fu" that Ziyun brought, and wrapped it with the embroidered A dark green swaddle with the word Baifu on it.

Xiao Erlang smacked his lips, and as expected, he really stopped crying.
