Sir, I just want to be a salted fish

Chapter 116 Co-production
Jiang Shunian took the opportunity to run away and vowed: "Okay, brother-in-law will go out and buy it for you personally."

...

For some reason this year, it seemed that everyone had agreed to get pregnant. First, Tang Jinglin was diagnosed with pregnancy in early February;
In mid-April, Princess Zheng Yuan (the eldest daughter of the Duke of Qi), Tang Jinglin’s handkerchief, was also pregnant with her second child;
On the fifth day of the fifth lunar month, the Queen Mother's birthday, Qiao Waner was diagnosed with a positive pulse that day. After being a child for a long time, she found a new job in the Qiu family of the Ministry of Official Affairs;

In early August, Princess Pingyu fainted in the palace and had been treated by the imperial doctor for a month and a half. Everyone in the East Palace was happy;

At the end of August, the second prince's concubine Qiu Chan, who got married one month later than the crown princess, was also diagnosed with Ximai.
In the same circle, Tang Bingxuan, who has been married for half a year, has been silent.

Mrs. Qiao, the Marquis of Yongning, was open-minded and knew that the matter of having an heir was fate and she would not force it; Marquis Yongning had previously written a promise to the Duke of Rongguo and his daughter-in-law Tang Bingxuan, so he would not mention it.

Duke Rong Guo knew about the young couple's plans when Jiang Shunian and his wife went out to play in Yunzhou, so he would not interfere with them privately even though he was looking forward to the arrival of his grandson.

On the other hand, Shao, the wife of Rongguo Duke, and Liu's mother-in-law and wife, the Duke's wife, felt a little anxious after hearing the good news one by one, but not Tang Bingxuan.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law discussed taking Tang Bingxuan to Guanyin Temple to pay homage to the Mother-Giving Lady, and asked her, regardless of gender, to send a child to Tang Bingxuan and his wife as soon as possible.

Tang Jinglin was about to give birth, so the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law still focused on Tang Jinglin. Tang Bingxuan's matter was not urgent at the moment, and they should wait until Tang Jinglin gave birth safely.

On the early morning of September 6th, Tang Jinglin suffered from labor pains. Fortunately, it was her second child and the pregnancy was in good condition. After more than two hours, she gave birth to a six-pound fat girl safely.

Yuan Bozheng was finally happy to have a daughter, the wife was also looking forward to her granddaughter, and the two brothers Yuan Sheng also had a soft little sister to play with. The whole family was very satisfied.

Beginning in September, it was unknown who was behind the deliberate guidance. Rumors spread among the aristocratic circles in Kyoto that Tang Bingxuan could not have children and was a chicken that could not lay eggs.
Rumors spread outside, and some servants secretly discussed the matter in the yard of Yongninghou's mansion. Mrs. Qiao, the wife of Yongninghou, caught several people on the spot and was fined twenty boards, and all the servants in the mansion watched the punishment.

Suddenly, the servants of Yongninghou Mansion were cautious in their words and deeds, and no longer talked about the third wife Tang Bingxuan's inability to have children, and the house suddenly became clear and bright.

The second sister-in-law, Mei Shi and Jiang Tian, ​​even came to Jiang Shunian's yard. Overtly and secretly, they wanted Tang Bingxuan to go to Mrs. Qiao, the Marquis of Yongning, to intercede, so as not to dishearten the servants in the house.

Tang Bingxuan knew that her mother-in-law, Mrs. Liu, was trying to establish her own prestige, so she ignored Mrs. Mei and Aunt Jiang Tian, ​​and directly asked Mrs. Mei and Aunt Jiang Tian to serve tea to see off the guests, making Mrs. Mei and Aunt Jiang Tian blush with anger.

In the evening, Jiang Shunian returned home from Zuixianju. After washing up, he drank the sobering soup. He was about to discuss the etiquette of Zhou Gong with his wife, but unexpectedly he found Tang Bingxuan lying on the inside of the bed, shaking and crying.

Jiang Shunian was a little confused. His wife was not someone who took pains seriously. Anyone who offended her was basically reported on the spot, just like the Jianghu Rangers at the Great Buddha Temple, the bandits at the foot of Yunshan Mountain, and those who once coerced Tang Bingxuan in the carriage. Jiang Shunian himself was punished.

Jiang Shunian quickly turned Tang Bingxuan's body over and said anxiously: "Madam, what's wrong with you? Who bullied you?"

Tang Bingxuan covered her eyes with a handkerchief, tears streaming down her cheeks, looking fragile and pitiful. Jiang Shunian was frightened when she saw her, and she picked up her beloved wife and held her in her arms to comfort her. Tang Bingxuan sobbed for a while and said in a low voice: "Mr. Sir, it is said outside that I am a chicken that cannot lay eggs."

Jiang Shunian, who often ran away from home, could not be unaware of the rumors in Kyoto, but he never mentioned it to Tang Bingxuan after returning home. He had already sent people to investigate the culprits in private, but no news had come yet.

Jiang Shunian originally thought that according to Tang Bingxuan's temperament, he would stay at home and ignore what was going on outside the window and not hear the rumors outside, so he didn't inform her; even if he knew the rumors, he would just laugh it off according to his wife's temperament. It was nothing serious, but he didn't expect Tang Bingxuan to be so sad. Jiang Shunian regretted not explaining it to his wife in advance.

Jiang Shunian hugged Tang Bingxuan tightly and followed his beloved wife's back and forth to comfort her, "You and I know the whole story best, so what does it have to do with others? Madam, don't listen to the gossip outside, let's live our own lives." Just fine.”

Tang Bingxuan understands medical science, and the two of them agreed not to have children for the time being, so she has been taking birth control pills. It's not that she can't get pregnant, but that she doesn't want to get pregnant now.

The sobs gradually became weaker, and Tang Bingxuan's eyes red from crying looked at Jiang Shunian seriously, as if she wanted to see through Jiang Shunian and see if his heart was as consistent as his words.

"It's said outside that you married me, a noble girl who can't have children, just to get married to a dragon and a phoenix. Don't you mind being slandered by outsiders?"

In the aristocratic circles of Kyoto, it is said that wind is like rain. It was just reported that Tang Bingxuan was unable to get pregnant and have children and was a chicken that could not lay eggs. Later, there were rumors that Jiang Shunian and Tang Bingxuan had hidden secrets in their engagement;

The two got married not because of the marriage contract between the two families, but because Tang Bingxuan was suffering from a hidden illness and was unable to have children. The Yongning Hou Mansion was forced to get married under the pressure of the Rongguo Duke; they sacrificed their youngest son Jiang Shunian's children to marry the noble daughter Tang Bingxuan. , the two parties reached an agreement and each got what they needed.

Jiang Shunian smiled, his peach blossom eyes sparkling with tiny light, his pupils looking deep and passionate, "It's okay, it's not this time that I was laughed at by people outside.

When a new topic emerges in Kyoto’s aristocratic circles, we will not stay at the forefront;
Besides, once our child arrives, the rumors will be debunked. "

Jiang Shunian's ideas coincided with Tang Bingxuan's. The two had always been in sync with each other, and it was not in vain that Tang Bingxuan used medicine to make her eyes red and swollen and still shed tears.

"Ms. sir, it's great to marry you!"

Jiang Shunian patted Tang Bingxuan on the back and continued: "I'm afraid someone deliberately spread rumors against us and our couple, and even the Duke of Rong's Palace and the Marquis of Yongning's Palace. I have sent people to find out the culprits. Don't worry, Madam. "

It only took less than half a month from the incident of Tang Bingxuan's inability to conceive to the subsequent slander of Jiang Shunian, Duke Rongguo, and Marquis Yongning. If no one had controlled the direction of the rumors, the situation would not be what it is now.

Tang Bingxuan glanced at Jiang Shunian teasingly, "Is it still Qiao Waner?"

It would be fair to say that Qiao Waner spread slander against Tang Bingxuan, but later the rumors targeted Jiang Shunian, and even implicated the Duke of Rongguo and the Marquis of Yongning. It is impossible for a housewife like Qiao Waner to be capable of such a big deal. It can be done.

Jiang Shunian informed Tang Bingxuan of his analysis and guessed: "It is very likely that Qiao Waner deliberately spread your rumors, and then they were used by others, and then fermented and fermented to affect the reputation of the Rongguo Duke's Mansion and the Yongning Marquis Mansion."
