Chapter 840 Double Happiness
One said that she had not fulfilled her responsibilities as a mother when her daughter was young, and she would feel guilty if she didn't do more to help now.
Another said, "Do you want to see how exhausted you are? Working non-stop for more than ten days is too much for anyone. And yet you still have to take on the responsibility of taking care of your daughter. Isn't this a joke?"
Tang Chujun knew that Yao Sheng was worried about his health, and Yao Sheng knew that the past was a thorn in Tang Chujun's heart.
Shi Anxia sat up from the bed and stopped him, saying, "Yu Sheng Pavilion is so close, we can get there in a few steps. Don't all of you move in, just come and see me from time to time. Isn't Bei Hui here? Madam Meng will also live in the mansion."
Several people were discussing the matter at once.
Yao Sheng couldn't persuade his daughter in the end, "Then let's transfer Nan Yan and Mu Lan over to help."
She is in good health now and doesn't need so many people.
After the deal was settled, Nan Yan returned to Tinglan Courtyard, while Mu Lan continued to stay in Yu Sheng Pavilion to serve Yao Sheng.
But how could Tinglan Academy be short of people?
When Hong Que heard that his wife was pregnant, he immediately ran back happily from the Vina tribe's embassy in Beijing.
Now she finally found an excuse. Not only did she come back by herself, she also brought her sister Mu Sang along.
Mu Sang was shy and didn't want to come at first, but he couldn't persuade his sister, so he came to visit the princess and then went back.
She felt that she was unlucky and should avoid causing trouble for others, especially during the princess' pregnancy. If something went wrong, she would not be able to bear the responsibility.
Qiu Hongyan also got the news, and she ran back to Tinglan Courtyard. She rolled up her sleeves and said with great enthusiasm, "It's my turn to go on stage! I have been preparing for today for a long time, and I have found many recipes suitable for pregnancy. I will make them one by one for Madam."
Bei Hui hadn't seen Lanyuan so lively for a long time. Although she was happy, she was still cautious and careful. "The recipe must be reviewed by Madam Meng before making it. Don't make any mistakes."
Her little master or little princess is so precious.
Qiu Hongyan was not displeased at all and responded with a smile, "Yes, Sister Beihui is right. I will prepare the recipe and show it to Madam Meng."
It was very lively here. Mother Xing from the Marquis' Mansion also came. She greeted the masters first, then announced the good news with a smile on her face. "It's a great thing that the princess is pregnant. Our Marquis's mistress is also pregnant. It can be said to be a double happiness."
After hearing this, Tang Chujun was so happy that he couldn't speak clearly, "You, you, you mean, Ling'er is pregnant too?"
Mother Xing nodded, "Yes, yes, you are so lucky, old lady."
Tang Chujun didn't know why, but he couldn't help but feel a little sad, but he smiled, "Yes, I'm so lucky." He then took Yao Sheng's hand and said, "You are also lucky, our daughter and daughter-in-law are both blessed."
Yao Sheng's tears immediately slid down her cheeks and she quickly wiped them away, "Yeah, I thought I would never be able to enjoy such family happiness."
"Silly!" Tang Chujun's eyes filled with tears. "You are such a good person, and good fortune is yet to come."
She said to Nanny Zhong, "Go and prepare the silver ingots. Give the rewards to everyone from the top to the bottom of the Young Master's Mansion according to their rank. Don't leave anyone out. Let everyone share in the joy."
Nanny Zhong smiled and agreed, "Yes, I will prepare it right away."
Yao Sheng asked Xing's mother, "How many months pregnant is Ling'er?"
Mother Xing replied, "The doctor said it's just three months old."
Yao Sheng thought about it and said, "Then give the reward in the name of Ling'er's pregnancy. Don't announce Xia'er's pregnancy to others. Just keep it to your family members."
Tang Chujun understood, "Yes, you are right."
It’s not even three months old yet and the fetus is unstable, so I’m afraid it might get bumped.
Mother Xing received the order and went out. She ran into Dong Xi in the yard and her eyes looked complicated for a moment.
Dong Xi stepped forward to pay his respects and called her "Aunt Master" in a rather affectionate manner.
Mother Xing reached out and slapped her, saying angrily, "You! What can I say to you?"
Dong Xi laughed, "Master Aunt, please don't be angry with me. I will be filial to you on behalf of Master in the future."
Mother Xing said with a straight face, "Am I asking you to be filial? I want you to be my nephew's wife!"
Dong Xi knew that Xing's mother was a person who was cold on the outside but warm on the inside, so he stepped forward, took her arm, and coaxed her in a low voice, "Master is such a good man, so he should be paired with a better girl. Xianxian will grow up quickly, so please wait a little longer."
It turned out that when Xing Mingyue won the martial arts exam and was the top scorer, people who were looking for a marriage partner almost broke down the door of his house.
But the Xing family was clear-headed and knew that they couldn't get involved with the rich and powerful. If they did, it would be almost the same as marrying into the family.
This was probably because the Xing family was a poor family, and not just one of them. Even the aunt in the family was a servant in the Marquis's mansion. This put Xing Mingyue in a very awkward situation.
He couldn't afford to marry or support a rich and powerful girl. He didn't even have the money to buy a house.
The Xing family decided to find someone with a similar status so that they could live a more peaceful life.
After thinking for a long time, Mother Xing decided on Dong Xi.
Dong Xi is the princess's first-class maid and is highly valued by the princess. She will not suffer any loss in the future.
Mother Xing told the princess about this idea, thinking that her nephew was the top scorer in the martial arts exam, so he was not worthy of a rich family, and marrying him with Dongzhi would be considered marrying of lower status.
Unexpectedly, the princess did not agree immediately, but only said that she could provide an opportunity for the two of them to get closer.
Doesn't the top scholar need money to buy a house? The princess paid a high price to ask Xing Mingyue to teach Dongqi martial arts.
Teaching like this day after day would definitely give rise to some feelings. But he never expected that all this would be messed up by the little girl from the Fu family, Fu Xianxian.
Fu Xianxian came to pester Xing Mingyue every day, and later pestered Dong Xi. I don't know what means she used, but the girl and Dong Xi became a couple.
Dong Xi often betrayed her master Xing Mingyue and told Fu Xianxian whereabouts. In the end, it was often a group of three people, a strict master and two apprentices.
Even when they occasionally went out for tea and drinks, the three of them would go together.
Fu Xianxian also taught Dong Xi how to play polo. Dong Xi is very intelligent and can now join the Fu family women's polo team as a reserve player.
In short, Xing's mother's dream of becoming her niece's daughter-in-law was shattered. It wasn't that she didn't like Fu Xianxian, but she was just a little girl who hadn't grown up yet.
By the time the girl grew up, her nephew Xing Mingyue would be in his twenties and already old!
Dong Xi remembered something and said, "Aunt Master, please wait for a moment. I have something to give you."
She ran away after she finished speaking. When she came out again, she was holding a fox fur coat in her hands. "Master Aunt, this is for you. I wanted to give it to you a while ago because I heard that you were assigned a job at the farm. Winter is almost over and you won't be able to wear it for many days. You can wear it next year."
Mother Xing looked at the pretty girl in front of her and sighed that she was unlucky. "Take it back quickly. It's so valuable. Do you think I look like someone who wears fox fur? I was born to work."
Dong Zhi stuffed the fox fur into Mother Xing's hands and said, "We can wear it when we are not working. It is warm and looks elegant. You are the aunt of the number one scholar, you should wear something elegant!"
