Chapter 541: My Uncle is a Bringer of Good News!
ut the remaining venison and smoked rabbit."Second Sister-in-law! This venison and rabbit, Mother said to keep them for New Year's. If your brother wants to eat, he should go up the mountain and hunt...The once tidy main hall floor was now littered with two broken flower pots, two wilted blooms, patches of soil, and dark fox paw prints.
Jia Yin led three little foxes standing by her side, smiling with a fawning look on her face.
Both the man and the fox were covered in dirt, looking like beggars.
Jiayin was afraid that Grandma would get angry, so she pushed the blame onto the little fox without any guilt. "Grandma, it's all because of San Tao who is too mischievous! I was planting flowers when it jumped out and kicked over the flower pot!"
San raised its head, staring with two black bead eyes. Its fox face was full of disbelief.
The owner, a bipedal creature, pulled on the tail of the animal. The animal kicked over a flowerpot to dodge its master!
It's pitiful that it can't speak human language, only chirping non-stop...
But Old Li had keen eyesight and had long seen through these two, that neither of them was a good person. So, she raised her hand and gave them each a few slaps on the head.
"After tidying up, go take a bath and change your clothes. Why choose to tidy the flower room It's right here in the main hall! If guests came now, there wouldn't be anywhere for them to stand!"
At the gate, Grandma He and Shui Ling hurried forward to help, but they were stopped by Old Madam Li. "Let them do it themselves!"
Jiayin stuck out her tongue and quickly ran to find the broom and dustpan. San also hung his ears down and wagged his fluffy tail, helping sweep up the dirt.
Her water spirit eyes swirled, and she scooped up two pots of flowers before swiftly darting to the backyard.
Jia Yin couldn't help but secretly give her a thumbs up and decided to share half a box of snacks with her later.
These two flower pots were specially brought out by the head steward when I went to Hou Mansion just now.
He was idle and had nothing to do, so he wandered around everywhere. Whenever he heard that there were good flowers somewhere, he would go and have a look.
Because he was willing to spend a lot of money buying flower roots, diseased flowers, and even flower seeds, he gradually gained some reputation.
Both of these peonies were close to death, he bought them back for twenty taels of silver and when he gave them to his master, he was still very uneasy.
But the good news ruined her joy.
The next day was the opening day of Bai Huayuan. She stayed late for work, using her secret weapon, the nursery, to bring these two peonies back to life and transform them from old to new.
Then, leave the finale to Uncle Second. The Hundred Flowers Garden is sure to be a dazzling hit!
Unfortunately, she was too impatient. As soon as she got home, she started making a mess, and the little fox followed suit, causing even more chaos...
Seeing her granddaughter and the little fox scamper off to take a bath, Old Li decided to go to the kitchen to check on dinner.
The melon patch was lively again, I reckon it'll be sold out tomorrow.
At midday, the village head sent someone to inquire when Lao Er would be back, as he was eager to settle accounts.
As a result, it was dusk and the second child hadn't returned...
Speak of the devil, and he shall appear!
Li Laotai was just thinking about telling her daughter-in-law when the carriage arrived at the door.
Li Laoer almost jumped off the carriage before he even reached the courtyard. He shouted, "Mother, good news! Great news!"
Hearing the noise, both Li Laotai and Tao Hongying ran out from the kitchen. Li Laotai asked, "What happened What good news!"
Li Lao'er quickly said, "Mother, Wenjuan is pregnant, you are going to be a grandmother!"
Is Wenjuan pregnant!
Li Laotai was stunned for a moment, the next second her white cabbage was thrown away, and she danced with joy.
"Oh my, Wenjuan is pregnant That's too fast, the family will have another addition!"
Tao Hongying was also beaming with joy, repeatedly asking, “Second brother, how did you find out Wenjuan was pregnant Did you have a doctor feel her pulse How many months is it”
Lao Li'er is the one who brought the news, technically it's not proper to say these things, but there's no other way, who made him the bearer of good tidings
So he continued, "I went to Dean Zhou's house to deliver a jade gourd and after dinner when I returned to the dining hall, I heard about it.
"It seems like the third daughter-in-law served mutton to Wenjuan, and Wenjuan vomited after taking a bite. At that time, she asked the doctor to take her pulse, and the doctor said it had been two months!"
"Oh, wonderful! Wonderful!" Old Mrs. Li couldn't help but want to set off fireworks to celebrate.
Tao Hongying was still calculating, "Now it's the beginning of July, which means that she conceived in May. Counting the days, it would be February next year"
“Goodness, this child is fortunate. It's neither too hot nor too cold right now, and spring will be here soon.”
"That's right, this child knows how to choose a good time to be born. Full moon and spring arriving at the same time, it's so convenient!" Old Lady Li said with certainty, grabbed the key from her waist and went to open the storeroom. "In springtime, you don't need to make thick quilts. Choose thin cotton for little clothes. As for diapers, you have to make several more. This child will be flipping around in the summertime…"
“Yes, yes, and we only need to make two little hats. We won't need them after 100 days. Also, for the diaper, before there was a piece of fleece, maybe that would be better” Tao Hongying also didn't bother with cooking anymore and followed her mother-in-law into the storeroom.
Li Lao'er was left alone in the courtyard, and couldn't help but chuckle wryly as he shook his head.
He couldn't contain his excitement and went out to chat with the village head and others.
Soon, everyone in the village knew that Jia Huan's daughter-in-law was pregnant, and the Li family was about to have a great grandson!
After dinner, Huiniang and Liu's wife both brought their children over to walk around, helping Li Lao Tai and Tao Hongying trim baby clothes and swaddles.
Jia Yin didn't have the heart to plant flowers in the garden because she was going to be an aunt!
In her past life, she didn't have many siblings or younger relatives. Now, suddenly becoming an aunt filled her with excitement.
One moment she was calculating how to make a golden lock for her nephew, the next she was deciding on two gold bangles for him...
Li Laotai and Tao Hongying were annoyed by the fat girl's noise, so Li Laotai laughed and scolded her, "You, in the future when you become an aunt, just don't be naughty, and don't let your nephew become a laughing stock."
"Grandma!" Jiayin burrowed into the old woman's arms, acting coquettishly and protesting, "Grandma, now that you have a great-grandchild, you don't like your granddaughter anymore. Poor Funiu!"
Grandma Li nearly pricked her granddaughter with the needle in her hand. She swatted her playfully and scolded, “If I didn’t love you, would I have fed you so well Go play somewhere else, we're busy here.”
Tao Hongying also laughed and said, "Funi, if you have some free time, why not help your sister-in-law come up with some dishes You're two months pregnant now, it's exactly when your appetite is gone. In a few days, you'll be throwing up constantly, it's really awful."
"Great, great!" Jia Yin immediately accepted the task and scurried back to the backyard to secretly flip through the recipe book.
The twins of Hui-niang's family were at the age where they were always crawling around and causing mischief. One little hand grabbed Jia Yin's braid and wouldn't let go.
Jia Yin reached out and hugged them tightly, kissing them fiercely. The twins were startled and quickly retreated, scrambling back onto the kang.
Jiayin ran away in a flash.
Everyone was smiling, and Hui Niang said: "Our Fu Niu'er will surely be a good aunt in the future!"
When Old Mrs. Li heard her granddaughter being praised, she couldn't help but smile. "Don't look at this child, she seems to be mischievous and works hard every day, splitting her time in half like when she was little. In fact, she knows exactly what she's doing!"
Everyone thought her brothers were protecting her, but she actually took better care of them. When Jia'an and Jiaxi went south this time, the little girl specially had arrows made for their arms to protect themselves, and she also stuffed each of them with a lot of silver, just in case they suffered. courtyard belonged to an official who committed a crime last year. It has been sealed up and not sold. The deed and land title should be at the Ministry of Revenue.”Jia Yin thought for a moment, then...
