Rebirth of the High Gate Mistress

Chapter 169 Want to have a baby

When Xu Wanning arrived at Qingfeng Garden, Jingshu was leaning on the couch outside and reading a book. When she saw Xu Wanning coming over with Sister Zhuang in her arms, she quickly got off the ground, took Sister Zhuang and held her in her arms, teasingly saying: "I haven't seen you in a few days." , Sister is a little heavier again."

Xu Wanning sat down on the chair and said with a smile: "This child is very greedy. I am really worried that I will become a fat girl in the future. What should I do?"

Jingshu looked at Sister Zhuang and said, "Even if we gain weight, we are still handsome."

Emma loves children the most at this age. When she saw how cute Xu Wanning's Sister Zhuang was, she was very fond of her, but she couldn't help but long for her own girl.

“It would be great if the eldest lady could have such a beautiful child.” Eminem muttered again.

Xu Wanning put down the tea cup and asked Jingshu, "It's been more than a year since you came here, and there's no one else in my second brother's house. Logically speaking, you should be pregnant."

Ammu said anxiously: "That's right, but our eldest lady has been silent."

Of course, Jingshu also longed to be a mother, but she couldn't say it out loud. She said casually: "It depends on fate. Maybe the fate between us and the child has not come yet."

Xu Wanning smiled and said: "The imperial doctors in the palace have been coming here every day these days. That imperial physician Zhang is the number one expert in the imperial hospital. Tomorrow you ask your second brother to invite him over to take your pulse and prescribe some high-quality pictures." Here comes the pregnancy medicine."

Without waiting for Jingshu to reply, Amu happily replied: "It's time to take a look. This pregnancy does depend on fate, but it also depends on human factors. Let the imperial doctor take care of it, and maybe you will get pregnant right away."

Jingshu and Xu Wanning were chatting here. The three girls returned from the official school and went straight to Qingfengyuan.

Ziyun brought snacks and fruits, and while the third girl ate snacks, she said to her two sisters-in-law: "Nowadays, there are many children from poor families who do not have the conditions to study. Mr. Liu is currently preparing to build a private school so that those children from poor families who want to study can also study. "

After hearing what the third girl said, Xu Wanning asked: "Which Mr. Liu?"

The third girl replied: "It's the famous Liu Yunzhi. My sister-in-law doesn't even know Mr. Liu's name."

Xu Wanning said "Oh" and said with a smile: "Don't think I don't like reading, but I still know the reputation of Jiangnan Liu Talent."

Jingshu echoed: "It's great that Mr. Liu has the ambition to build a school for children from poor families."

The third girl smiled at the two sisters-in-law: "Running a school requires money. Both sisters-in-law are not short of money. Can you support me?"

Xu Wanning looked at her sister-in-law and smiled and said, "It turns out they are asking for money from us."

The third girl smiled and replied: "Many of our classmates in the official school support Mr. Liu in running the school. I also contributed five hundred taels myself."

The third girl shook Xu Wanning's sleeves: "I know my sister-in-law is kind-hearted and not short of money, so she won't be reluctant to part with this money."

Xu Wanning laughed and said to the third girl: "I can't say I'm kind-hearted, but I'm really not short of money, sister-in-law."

 She stretched out a finger: "Since you have spoken to me, I will pay you a thousand taels."

Xu Wanning was the legitimate daughter of the Hou family, and her dowry was so rich that she could not spend it all in a few lifetimes. This little money is just a drop in the bucket to her.

Jingshu's dowry is naturally incomparable with Xu Wanning's, but fortunately she has a good husband and mother-in-law. Although Li Ling's salary is subject to confiscation, the rewards for meritorious service every now and then are all given to her. Jingshu's long The princess's mother-in-law gave her such a large royal manor and thousands of acres of fertile land. Just from those thousands of acres of fertile land, she received tens of thousands of taels of silver every year. Calculated this way, Jing Shu's net worth is even higher than Xu Wanning's.

The third girl said happily: "Sister-in-law is really happy." After saying that, she looked at the second sister-in-law again.

Jingshu echoed: "Running a school is something that benefits the country and the people, so I will also contribute a thousand taels."

The third girl happily clasped her hands and said, "If all the noble ladies were as knowledgeable and well-educated as the first sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law, all the children from poor families in the world would be able to read. I would like to thank you in advance on behalf of Mr. Liu."

The aunts and sisters were in the room talking about Mr. Liu's private school. When Li Ling returned, Xu Wanning and the third girl left. After the two of them left, Li Ling couldn't help but ask Jingshu: "I just heard you talking about the person named Liu?"

Jingshu knew very well that Li Ling hated Liu Yunzhi, and even if he didn't ask, she would still tell him about her sponsorship of Mr. Liu's private school.

"Mr. Liu wants to set up a private school for poor children, and is raising money. The third girl told us, and my sister-in-law and I each contributed some money, just to do good deeds for those children who cannot afford to go to school."

Li Ling still had a sullen face. In short, whenever Liu Yunzhi was mentioned, he felt unhappy: "You can pay for it, but I don't allow you to meet that person named Liu."

Jingshu helped him take off his official uniform and glanced at his cold face. She felt funny in her heart but didn't show it on her face. She just asked, "Why did you come home so early today?"

Li Ling replied: "After finishing the matters in the camp, I went to the palace to ask for Dr. Zhang. I just sent him to Bitangju."

Speaking of Dr. Zhang, Jing Shu remembered that Xu Wanning and her mother had just advised her to take care of her body to prepare for pregnancy, and she said to Li Ling: "Someday, after you ask Dr. Zhang to give my elder brother acupuncture, ask him to come to our place to take my pulse." .”

As soon as Li Ling heard this, he quickly asked his wife, "What's wrong? Why don't you feel comfortable?"

Hearing his question, Jing Shu's cheeks turned slightly red and she hesitated: "I just want the imperial doctor to help me take a safe pulse and grab some anti-fetal medicine to try."

Li Ling saw his wife's shy look, a smile appeared on his face, he held her in his arms and joked: "You are so anxious to give birth to a child for me?"

Jingshu pushed him away and stammered like a mosquito: "Don't talk nonsense. I'm in a hurry."

Li Ling stepped forward, hugged the person horizontally, and said with a wicked smile: "Since Madam is in a hurry, I have to work harder."

Jing Shu blushed and buried her head tightly in Li Ling's arms.

Li Ling held his wife in his arms and went straight to the inner room, closed the door with his feet, and the two of them lay on the bed again.

Afterwards, Li Ling looked at his little wife with satisfaction and said, "You are much more docile now than before. If I had known this, my husband would have chased you and had children earlier."

Jingshu glared at Li Ling and simply turned away and ignored him.

After Li Ling got dressed and got off the ground, he came over to hug her: "Let's go, I'll carry you to wash up."

The young wife took his hand away decisively. Li Ling asked doubtfully: "What's wrong? Aren't you always fond of cleanliness? You won't wash it today?"

Jingshu blushed and hesitated: "I heard that you can't wash in a hurry afterwards. It's not easy to get pregnant. I haven't gotten pregnant for such a long time. I suspect it's because I washed too frequently afterwards."

Li Ling was so amused by his little wife that he couldn't laugh or cry. He stepped forward and kissed her smooth forehead, and said with a smile: "Are you really in such a hurry?"

Jingshu lay motionless on the bed, only hitting him with her hands and saying coquettishly: "I am in a hurry to give birth to a child for you, and you are still teasing me."

Li Ling simply lay down again, hugged his wife and said, "You are still young, so I am not in a hurry about this matter, but since my wife is so anxious, I have no choice but to work harder for my husband."

As he said that, he wanted to make a comeback.

Jingshu exclaimed: "What are you doing? Those essences and blood just now might be giving birth to a child. If you do this, wouldn't you be in vain?"

As she said that, she quickly pushed Li Ling away and pouted, "Don't touch me. It's better for me to conceive if I lie down motionless like this."
