After hearing this, Mrs. Dong immediately disagreed and said, "Husband, the eldest lady is pregnant with a child now. How can she go out and walk around at will?"

Meng Dongyuan said indifferently: "Farmer women in the countryside can still farm when they are seven or eight months pregnant. Let's not talk about the countryside, let's talk about the daughters-in-law from other families. After becoming pregnant, they can also go out to dinner. She is only a little over a month pregnant. , I haven’t even shown my pregnancy yet, why can’t I go out? I’m afraid none of the ladies in the palace are so valuable.”

Mrs. Dong replied: "Husband, can others be the same as our eldest daughter? The eldest daughter is carrying a grandson that her in-laws have been waiting for for many years, and my uncle has been waiting for a child for many years. This child is not easy to come by, and the whole family has been waiting for it." Everyone is taking care of her with care, if she bumps into someone when we go out, can our Meng family afford to pay for it?"

As soon as these words came out, Meng Dongyuan suddenly sobered up. If this child died after being bumped into, the Gu family would hate the Meng family, and from now on they would no longer be in-laws, but enemies.

Seeing that he was silent, Mrs. Dong was afraid that he would be unhappy because of this, so she said: "Husband, I know that you want to ease the relationship with the eldest girl, and it is for the sake of the Meng family, but this kind of thing cannot be rushed. The more anxious you are, the more anxious you are. The more counterproductive it is.”

Meng Dongyuan was anxious, but he had no choice. Now there was a real shortage. If his eldest daughter could help him speak a good word in front of his son-in-law and ask his son-in-law to help sort it out, it would probably fall on him.

Mrs. Dong comforted her: "The timing is wrong this time. My eldest uncle is not in the capital. It's useless for you to tell the eldest girl. There will be many opportunities in the future."

Meng Dongyuan was very depressed. He finally had this opportunity. It happened that his eldest daughter was pregnant again, and his son-in-law had a son. For the sake of the child, it would be easier to talk to him. As long as the eldest daughter told his son-in-law, this person was not in the capital. Can't you write a letter to say it?

Mrs. Dong looked at him and didn't want to continue this topic, so she said instead: "Husband, let's have dinner first."

Just as Meng Dongyuan was about to speak, he was blocked by Mrs. Dong's words, and felt suffocated in his heart. However, he still liked Ms. Dong who was knowledgeable, sensible, gentle and beautiful, so he did not vent his anger on Ms. Dong.

Two days later, news came from the Meng family that Meng Jinyu had arranged a marriage with the wealthy Yangzhou businessman named Deng. They were getting married in October this year. After the wedding, they went to Yangzhou with her husband.

Meng Jinyao felt calm in her heart. As far as she was concerned, she would just go back to her parents' house to have a banquet and give her a gift.

The Meng family got married to a businessman, and many people said behind their back that Meng Dongyuan was selling their daughter. The noble family actually stooped to marry a businessman who smelled like copper. Wasn't this just because of the businessman's money?

But some people say that it is better to marry a daughter with a poor reputation to a wealthy businessman and get benefits than to marry a scholar with a lower family background than yourself. Even if a scholar with a lower family background can become an official in the future, it may not be possible. If you can be a high official, you may be a small official all your life, and you are still poor. Not only will your daughter suffer, but you will not be able to help your parents' family at all, and they may have to ask your parents' family to help them. What use can it do? It's better to marry a wealthy businessman and live a life of fine clothes and fine food.

The days passed like this. Meng Jinyao was raising her baby at home and did not go outside.

More than half a month later, Chan'er and Qingqiu came back. Chan'er had lost a lot of weight after suffering such a serious injury. Although it was not hard for Qingqiu to take care of Chan'er, she also lost weight because she was too worried about her master. few.

Meng Jinyao felt distressed when she saw that both of them had lost weight. She exchanged a few words and knew that they had been working hard on the road, so she asked them to freshen up and then have a good rest.

In the evening, Qingqiu woke up and got ready to serve her master for dinner. When talking to Chun Liu, she learned from Chun Liu that her master was pregnant. She was surprised and happy: "Madam, is she pregnant?"

Chunliu said: "Yes, my wife was diagnosed with pregnancy the day after she returned home."

Qingqiu clasped his hands together and said, "Amitabha, Buddha bless me. Fortunately, I had a safe trip back and there was no problem."

Chunliu was a little confused after listening to her words, and said with a smile: "Why are you so talkative? With Mr. Marquis accompanying me, my wife will definitely have a safe journey home."

Qingqiu smiled and said nothing, just said: "Let's go, it's time to wait for Madam for dinner."

Chunliu responded.

Meng Jinyao had no symptoms during pregnancy and had a good appetite. She stayed at home every day to raise the fetus and was attentively served by her servants. She lived a good life, but she often missed her father.

In order to find something to do for herself and pass the time, she made clothes for the child and the child's father. Since she didn't know whether it was a boy or a girl, the small clothes she made for the child were made of red material and could be worn by both men and women, and they were also festive.

Ningdong saw that she often did needlework, so he said: "Madam, you have been doing embroidery these days, and you may have hurt your eyes. The weather outside is nice now, why don't you, slave, accompany you for a walk in the back garden?"

After hearing this, Meng Jinyao put down the embroidery work in her hands, stretched out slowly, and then went for a walk in the back garden with Ningdong.

When I arrived in the back garden, I met Xiuyuan's wife, Mrs. Jiang, playing with her child in her arms.

Gu Yunxin was born in March and is only a few months old now. She looks cute, well-behaved and laughs, making her very popular.

Meng Jinyao already liked children, but now that she was about to be a mother, she liked children even more than before. When she saw the little guy smiling and interacting with Mr. Jiang, she subconsciously touched her belly.

When Mrs. Jiang saw her, she bowed and said, "Third Aunt."

Meng Jinyao smiled and nodded, her eyes never leaving the little guy in her arms. She walked over and touched the little guy's head: "This child is getting cuter and cuter."

Jiang replied: "Third aunt, Yunxin and his brother-in-law will also be very cute in the future."

Yunxin’s uncle?

Meng Jinyao didn't react for a while, but she realized it after a moment and smiled: "Maybe he's not my uncle, but my aunt."

Jiang's mouth was sweet and she said with a smile: "Even if she is a little aunt, she is still a cute little girl, and the third uncle and the third aunt are good-looking. Whether they are boys or girls, they will definitely be good-looking."

Meng Jinyao glared at her: "You are the only one who talks sweetly."

Mrs. Jiang said: "Third Aunt, what I said is all the truth."

Meng Jinyao said warmly: "Give me a hug. I haven't held this child for a long time."

Jiang didn't dare to tire her, and replied: "Third Aunt, Yunxin's child is quite heavy. You can't tire yourself while you are pregnant, and the child's feet are restless. If he kicks his uncle or aunt, It’s not good.”

Hearing this, Meng Jinyao had no choice but to give up and seek advice on parenting from Mr. Jiang.

Ms. Jiang usually doesn't talk much. She is a gentle and virtuous little daughter-in-law. But as long as someone talks to her about the fields she is familiar with, she will immediately talk a lot. She knows everything about Meng Jinyao and talks about everything.

Meng Jinyao had a great conversation with her, and heard a lot of experiences from people who had been there before, and also learned about some changes during pregnancy.

After saying goodbye to her, Meng Jinyao returned to Wei Ruixuan. As soon as she entered the room and sat down, Qingqiu came in with a letter and said to her: "Madam, the Marquis has sent a letter from home."

Meng Jinyao was startled after hearing this. It would take more than half a month to get from the capital to Hangzhou. Now it is time to arrive in Hangzhou, but if you want to send a letter back, it will not be delivered so quickly.

She asked: "Are you sure it was the letter sent back by the Marquis?"

Qingqiu smiled and asked: "How can this be false? You will know if you look at it first? This letter was not only sent to you, but also to the old lady. It was written by the Marquis on his way to Hangzhou and then sent back. of."
