Ancient Imperial Examination Daily

Chapter 892 Pregnant Again (Two in One)

After hearing Du Fangling's words, Mrs. Chen couldn't react for a while: "You said, you want to adopt Brother Guan to the Du family?"

"Yes." Du Fangling said, "Anyway, it's just a change of surname, and I still live with Xiaobei and me, but change the surname to Du. The difference is that in the next hundred years, you will let him throw pots for you; his descendants will also be considered Du, and will be enshrined to you and your father." Incense."

Chen Shi trembled her lips, wiped her tears and said, "You don't have to do this, Sister Ling, you really don't need to. Thank Xiao Bei for me."

The ancients were not as casual as the modern people when it comes to descendants and clans, they are really very solemn.Otherwise, Du Yinsheng wouldn't be thinking about making his children and grandchildren successful, just to lead them to recognize their ancestors and return to their ancestors.

"Why don't you use it? If you don't recognize brother Guan, Jin Ning will have to have another child." Du Fangling said anxiously, "Don't think about that child. His brother is the king of the county and can enter and leave the palace and court at will. But he is a commoner, not as good as ordinary officials, how pitiful. You don't even ask him if he wants to be adopted."

"That was not what I meant……"

Chen shook her head and wanted to explain, but was interrupted by Du Fangling: "Don't explain, it's settled like this. Otherwise, Jin Ning will have to have another child."

Mrs. Chen remained silent, and asked after a long while, "Xiaobei, do you really have any objections?"

"I really have no objection." Du Fangling said, "You watched Xiao Bei grow up, don't you know what he is like? He has always felt that without Jin Ning, without our family, he would be nothing more than Lishui County now." Ordinary people who can eat enough and wear warm clothes, how can they be like this now, become a big imperial merchant, and be more prestigious than ordinary officials?"

She sighed: "Xiaobei has always been grateful for the kindness of Jinning and our family, and has always said that he has no chance to repay his kindness. Now that he has the opportunity to repay his kindness, he is too happy. Anyway, even if Brother Guan is adopted, he still has two A son, he has nothing to lose, right? Besides, Brother Guan is still our son after adopting, just like before."

After hearing this, Mrs. Chen finally made up her mind: "All right, let's adopt Brother Guan."

She also wanted to understand.

She should never have said such a word that day.Now that I said it, if Du Jinning and the sisters have this thought, they must adopt a child, otherwise the sisters will not feel at ease.

Rather than letting Du Jinning take the risk of having a child and make the royal family unhappy; instead of Du Fangfei and Du Fanghui also worrying about whether they should also adopt their children to the Du family, it is better to adopt Du Fangling and Lu Xiaobei.

Lu Xiaobei has no father or mother, even if he is an imperial merchant, he is just a wealthy ordinary person, unlike Fang Shaohua and Xu Chengyuan who are both officials and parents; It couldn't be more appropriate.

The adoption of other people's sons is a loss of status, but the adoption of Lu Xiaobei's son has only advantages and no disadvantages.

Let's talk about money first. In this era, the eldest son inherited the family business, and the other sons didn't get much property.Brother Guan is the third child, even if he could inherit some family property from Lu Xiaobei, it would not be much.

And the house that Mrs. Chen lives in now is about the same size as that of Lu Xiaobei and the others, in the same area. In addition, there are fields, tea gardens, shops, etc. that Du Jinning left for Mrs. Chen. These add up to a considerable fortune.After having Brother Guan, in order not to let the child be wronged, Chen has the motivation to make money, and then asked Du Jinning to come up with some money-making ideas. After a hundred years of the Chen family, the money inherited by Brother Guan is estimated to be enough for the two older brothers. All envious.

In terms of power, Brother Guan became the only heir of the Du family. Du Jinning, Du Fangfei and Du Fanghui must have taken better care of this child than Du Fangling's other two sons. But they are all resources, which the two elder brothers do not have.

Therefore, Guan Ge'er adopted Du's family, not only would he not be wronged, but he would also gain a lot of benefits.

After pondering over this matter all night, Mrs. Chen went directly to the Princess Mansion the next day and told Du Jinning the news.

"Brother Adoption Guan?" Du Jinning was pensive on the face, but a little disappointed in his heart.

In fact, a modern time traveler like her does not have a strong sense of clan and a weak sense of ghosts and gods, so she would never give birth to children for the sake of incense.Moreover, the issue of status and psychological balance, even Du Fangling has thought about it, and a person like her who takes one step and sees ten steps, will not have thought about it.

She was just looking for an excuse to have another baby.

Women who have been mothers may have this feeling: When giving birth to their first child, novice mothers really don't understand anything, whether it is raising or education, they have to figure it out.When the first child is two or three years old, the novice mother finally knows how to take care of the child. She has accumulated a lot of parenting experience and feels that she must do better than raising the first child. The pain of giving birth at this time I almost forgot about it, so I really wanted to have another child.

Du Jinning has reached this period.

Zhao He can ignore it, if it rains, Niang wants to get married, Du Jinning wants to have a child, even if Zhao He is the emperor, he can't control it.But Qi Muyuan can take care of it, if Du Jinning wants to conceive a child but doesn't want to have an affair, then Qi Muyuan has to cooperate.

But Qi Muyuan was worried that it would be dangerous for her to have a baby, so he disagreed with life and death.

Du Jinning didn't know what to do, she happened to hear what Chen said again, and then she threatened to give birth to an heir to the Du family.

Du Jinning was raised by the Du family as a boy, and the task of supporting the Chen family and carrying on the family line fell on her.Even though Mrs. Chen always knew that she was a woman, and the three Du Fangfei sisters also knew later, she did not delay the imperial examination and became an official. She came and went wearing men's clothes all day long, and everyone subconsciously regarded her as a man.

Even Du Jinning sometimes feels like a man.

This is also the reason why the three sisters never thought of adopting a child as the heir of the Du family after they got married and had children.

At this time, Du Jinning said that he wanted to give birth to an heir to the Du family, even if Qi Muyuan didn't want to, he couldn't stop him.

He can't let his father-in-law and mother-in-law break the incense, can he?
So he finally let go.

But at this time, Mrs. Chen said that Du Fangling wanted to adopt a son to the Du family, which completely disrupted Du Jinning's plan.

"Mother, let me think about this matter," Du Jinning said.

"What's there to think about? That's it." Chen Shisheng was afraid that Du Jinning would still want to give birth by herself, and said with a serious expression, "Don't even think about giving birth to the Du family. Let me tell you, even if you do, I won't give birth to you. I will. I like Brother Guan."

"..."

A kid who eats and sleeps, sleeps and eats, and has not shown any character, what is there to like or not!
Du Jinning also knew that Chen was doing it for her own good, but she really wanted to have another child.

Others have brothers and sisters, but her brother Qi is alone, thinking about it, she will not bear it.

Moreover, Du Jinning is in excellent health, and he didn't suffer much when Qi Ziqi was born, so he didn't think it was dangerous to have a child at all.Didn't you see her three older sisters giving birth one after another, and nothing went wrong?

Furthermore, Du Jinning actually wanted to have a daughter.

A delicate, waxy, soft and fragrant little girl, just thinking about it makes her heart soft.

"Mother, don't worry. Even if you like Brother Guan, you have to talk to the people in my hometown about this matter, right? Once Brother Guan is named Du, he will have to go on the genealogy. But my identity as a woman has not been communicated with my hometown. The person said, you have to give me some time to deal with this matter." Du Jinning said.

Mrs. Chen is not in a hurry, anyway, Brother Guan is still breastfeeding, so he won't run away.As long as Lu Xiaobei and Du Fangling agree, and Du Jinning does not object, the matter is basically settled.As for the family tree, it should be done within a year or two. Anyway, she is still healthy and can afford to wait.

She nodded: "OK, then it's settled."

"Don't tell Qi Muyuan about this for now." Du Jinning wanted to fool her, but seeing Chen looking at her suspiciously, as if waiting for her explanation, she could only say, "I told him before, he didn't Make a sound. You also know that men are more important to heirs, and I also want to see his sincerity in this matter."

"Hmph, just like Xiaoyuan, who regards you more than his life, he is not sincere enough? You have to speak with your conscience." Chen avenged his son-in-law, "He disagrees, it's because he doesn't want you to take risks. .”

"Mother." Du Jinning held Chen Shi's arm resolutely, "Are you Qi Muyuan's mother, or my mother?"

"I'm helping the manager and not helping the relatives." Chen couldn't help laughing, "They're all mothers, and they're acting like a baby."

"Since you want to adopt Brother Guan, you should spend more time on him. He is half a year old now, if you bring him more, he will kiss you." Du Jinning coaxed Chen Shi again.

If you don't coax Mrs. Chen to stay with Brother Guan all day long, if she comes to the mansion to mention it to Qi Muyuan and Aunt Yan, wouldn't that be a trap?
Mrs. Chen didn't know that her black-bellied daughter was planning to cheat her, and felt that this was very reasonable, so she happily went back to cultivate her relationship with Brother Guan.

After sending the Chen family away, Du Jinning called Wang Fulai.

Wang Fulai was put in charge by Yao Shuqi when Du Jinning disappeared. After Du Jinning came back, he wanted to continue to be Du Jinning's coachman, but Du Jinning tried to persuade him and let Akagi take his place, and Wang Fulai was still his. Steward, in charge of the purchase of the Princess Mansion.

Wang Fulai was very good at dealing with affairs, and he did a very good job as a steward.Capable and loyal, Du Jinning planned to hand over the matter of going back to his hometown to give Brother Guan a genealogy.

Du Jinning talked about the adoption, and said: "You followed me when I went back to my hometown last time. I know that my uncle and grandfather didn't know that I was a woman. I will leave this matter to you. If the old man does not know, it will not cause trouble. Under the premise of doing things."

Wang Fulai patted his chest and promised: "Princess, don't worry, I will leave this matter to the villain, and the villain will definitely handle the matter properly."

Du Jinning handed him a silver note and two banknotes.

The banknotes are naturally banknotes issued by the Song Dynasty Bank, but the maximum denomination is 100 taels of silver.For larger amounts of money, you have to use bank notes.This silver ticket was also issued by Dasong Yinzhuang, and it can be exchanged all over the country.

Compared with private individuals, the common people naturally trust the court more.As soon as the Great Song bank appeared, private banks of all sizes could not continue to operate.The original money houses were all run by big families, but now that the big families have collapsed, the small families didn't dare to go against the court, so they packed up their things and closed their doors in despair.

For this, Zhao Wei gave Du Jinning another credit in private - if it wasn't for her, how could the aristocratic family fall so easily?

"These 200 taels of silver are for you to use. Regardless of the cost of management or the way, they will be paid here. The extra money will be rewarded to you. If it is not enough, you can report to me when you come back. The other 500 taels of silver bill, You can figure it out. If my uncle and Mrs. Zhang are knowledgeable and sensible, you can give them this silver ticket, which is also my thanks for taking care of the elderly; if they show greedy faces, you can do it yourself."

There is a reason for giving this money.Du Jinning's plan could not have been carried out so smoothly if it hadn't been for the Du Jinde gang of the big house to hide the news of Du Chensheng's death.This is a thank you fee for them.

Although Du Yunyi and Zhang Shi were not very pleasing, they did help Du Jinning a lot over the years, saving her a lot of trouble and not having to face Du Chensheng and Niu Shi.Du Jinning became a princess and got married, but in the next hundred years of the Chen family, he would still have to deal with people from his hometown.Spending a small amount of money to win them over will do Du Jinning only good and no harm.

"Don't let the people in the mansion know about this, and your family members don't. As for the reason why you left the mansion, you want to explain it to Butler Yao." Du Jinning said again.

"Yes, don't worry, the princess, the villain will definitely handle the matter well." Wang Fulai said goodbye with his arms folded, went back to pack his things and went straight to Lishui County, Guangxi Province.

When Du Jinning brought Mrs. Chen back to Guangxi Province, he didn't stay in his hometown for long, and it took almost three months to go back and forth.It will only take longer for Wang Fulai to do things.

When he returned to the Princess Mansion three months later, he saw a strange atmosphere in the mansion.

"What happened in the mansion?" He asked his wife.

His mother-in-law said: "It's really a coincidence that you came back, the mansion just sent the imperial doctor away."

"Imperial doctor?" Wang Fulai was shocked, "Could it be that the princess is sick?"

"That's not true." His mother-in-law's expression became strange, "It's the princess who is pregnant."

"Pregnant?" Wang Fulai looked at his wife strangely, "Isn't this a good thing? Although the king of the small county is smart and healthy, he only has one child, and the princess' heir is too thin."

"But the emperor and the son-in-law don't want the princess to have a baby, so they are worried that they will encounter dystocia. You also know how important the princess is to Da Song."

Speaking of this, his mother-in-law sighed: "So everyone doesn't know whether this is a good thing or a bad thing. If it's really what the emperor and the son-in-law are worried about, then our good days will come to an end."

Wang Fulai's heart also became heavy.

Even if Du Jinning is no longer alive, Qi Muyuan will not sell them.But their relationship with Du Jinning is not just a simple master-servant relationship, but also a friendship.

"No, the princess will definitely give birth to Xiaojun Wang smoothly." Wang Fulai murmured.
