Sir, I just want to be a salted fish

Chapter 175 Sickness
After Tang Wenyun returned home, he began to study hard. Although he had not missed studying when he was away from home, he would have to take the exam again in March next year. Even though Tang Wenyun was confident, he did not dare to slack off.

After Tang Wenbai returned home, he usually did not disturb Tang Wenyun's studies, and only occasionally went over to accompany his second brother to have meals.

The second wife, Mrs. Zhang, had married off her daughter, and her son Tang Wenyun's future was the most important thing in front of her. She worked hard at studying and asked the kitchen to make soup for her son every day to replenish his health.

During this period, the second wife also began to quietly inquire about the famous girls of suitable age in Kyoto. She first inquired about the girl's family situation, and then waited for her son to be named on the gold medal list so that they could have a good marriage.

Even though Mr. Tang was not as smart as his son, he was also a Jinshi from the imperial examination and had served in the Hanlin Academy for many years. He always had some unique insights.

Therefore, when Mr. Tang Er takes a rest, he will give Tang Wenyun a detailed explanation of his income and the preferences of the examiner for the coming year.

Everyone in the Duke's office was very concerned about Tang Wenyun's examination, but they were afraid of putting pressure on him, so they rarely mentioned it in front of Tang Wenyun.

……

After Tang Bingqing became pregnant, her mother-in-law's family went to visit the home of Sima, the minister of Dali Temple. Sima's wife, Li, also took great care of her second daughter-in-law's health.

The second wife, Mrs. Zhang, accompanied her daughter to talk to her for a while before leaving. Everyone thought she was concerned about her daughter Tang Bingqing's pregnancy difficulties, and specially shared some of their own experiences.

After Mrs. Tai left Sima's house with her daughter-in-law, Tang Bingqing, who was recuperating in the inner room, looked sad instead of happy.

Tang Bingqing's eldest maid Shi Qin asked anxiously: "Miss, what's wrong with you?"

The second wife Zhang and her daughter Tang Bingqing were talking alone, and none of the maids were around.

Tang Bingqing cried silently, as if she wanted to swallow all the sadness in her heart.

Her mother, Ms. Zhang, actually asked her to give her husband a beautiful maid as a dowry!

Neither her mother-in-law Li nor her husband Sima Qiu mentioned the matter when she was pregnant, but it was her biological mother who actively advocated for her.

Although Tang Bingqing is fond of reading and a bit dull, he is not a stupid person.

Both her mother-in-law and her husband are considerate and loving towards her, so taking a concubine during her pregnancy will not affect her mood;
Mother Zhang is so active, just to show her magnanimity and tolerance, it is just a useless reputation.

Stick to your favor, stick to your favor, it would be fine if you are getting old and your beauty is fading, but it has only been half a year since you got married, and you are rushing to take a concubine for your husband, and Tang Bingqing can't do it.

If husband Sima Qiu wanted to take a concubine, Tang Bingqing would not stop her, but now it seems that her mother-in-law is more anxious.

After a long time, Tang Bingqing finally spoke up, pretending to be calm and said: "I'm fine, I just thought about some sad things."

Shi Qin looked at Tang Bingqing but hesitated to speak.

"I'm fine, I'm just a little tired. You can go out first."

When you marry into another family, even the closest people to your husband will be strangers, let alone the rest of the husband’s family;
A newlywed mother lives her life cautiously in her husband's family, fearing to offend her husband's family and be bullied.

In the past six months, Tang Bingqing had finally found love with her husband Sima Qiu at her husband's house, got along harmoniously with her mother-in-law and sister-in-law, and established a firm foothold;

In the end, she still had to generously provide her husband with a sleeping room while she was pregnant. Tang Bingqing thought her mother's idea was ridiculous.

But after the smile, there was endless sadness and helplessness. Tang Bingqing smiled bitterly. For the health of her unborn child, she was afraid that she would not be able to return to her parents' home in the near future.

The weather starts to get colder in October, and twins are more than four months old, and they are becoming more responsive to the outside world.

Tang Bingxuan's daily life is that as long as she opens her eyes and takes care of herself, she can't wait to see her children;

Before going to bed in the evening, Jiang Shunian and I would play with the children for a while before going back to the dormitory to rest. The two children are each assigned to two nannies, so that the nannies can take turns taking care of them during the day, and four people can take turns watching at night to keep them energetic.

But at the end of October, because a nanny didn't pay attention, Kangkang kicked his bag away at night and caught the cold.

An An slept peacefully, but Tang Bingxuan was afraid that An An would be infected by Kang Kang, so she had to separate the two siblings.

The child was less than five months old and could not express his discomfort. He could only cry loudly.

Jiang Shunian and Tang Bingxuan saw that their son Kangkang was so sad and hardworking, and they both wished they could take the pain of their child's illness.

Early in the morning, the imperial doctor was invited to the house for diagnosis and treatment. The imperial doctor prescribed medicine according to the symptoms, but it was difficult to give medicine to such a young child.

Jiang Shunian and Tang Bingxuan, one held Kangkang and coaxed him, and the other carefully fed Kangkang medicine, often feeding half of it into a bowl;

So the kitchen could only boil an extra portion of medicine and feed it in several doses. Everyone in the third room of the Hou Mansion became much thinner after Kangkang's illness.

Fortunately, the good medicine tastes bitter, and Shen's mother specially made some qi- and blood-replenishing medicated meals for Kangkang's wet nurse. Kangkang can absorb it indirectly during breastfeeding, and the potency of the medicine is not too strong.

After Kangkang was ill for five or six days, his health slowly began to improve. An An was soon released, and the two brothers and sisters lived together again.

Kangkang, who has just recovered from a serious illness, is obviously less energetic than An An, but he seems very happy to see An An, and his limbs are swaying excitedly.

Mrs. Hou, Mrs. Qiao, came to Sanfang Yard every day to see her two grandsons. She couldn't help but feel distressed when she saw Kang Kang who had just recovered from illness.

"We, Kangkang, have been suffering a lot these days."

Mrs. Qiao, Mrs. Hou, held Kangkang in her arms and walked around the room teasing her, and finally saw her little grandson's toothless smile.

When Tang Bingxuan saw her mother-in-law holding the recovering Kangkang in her arms, her eyes were full of joy and distress, and she was also worried.

"Mom, count the days when Kangkang and An'an can start taking complementary foods, and the nanny won't need to add more."

A nanny who had taken care of Kangkang before had failed to take good care of him, and Jiang Shunian had fired her and no longer employed her;

The remaining three wet nurses took good care of her. One of them was fired because of Kang Kang's illness, and they were even more reluctant to part with this highly paid and decent job.

"You can just do whatever you want. I just want our health and An'an to be healthy and not get sick."

The child got well, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law began to talk and laugh about everyday things.

"Xuan'er, there are several girls in my room who are old enough to be married to others;

I think the eldest maid here is already old and should find someone else to live with. How about we take care of it together? "

Mother-in-law Qiao didn't mention it, but Tang Bingxuan really didn't think about it for a while.

Zhichun and Zhixia in her room are already nineteen years old, and Zhiqiu and Zhidong are also seventeen years old. They must be kept close to Zhichun and Zhixia.

Tang Bingxuan happily agreed, "Okay, mother. They have been with me for many years, and my daughter-in-law must carefully select talents for them."

In the evening, Tang Bingxuan asked Jiang Shunian if he had any good marriage candidates.

Jiang Shunian had not thought about this at first, but when Tang Bingxuan mentioned it, he remembered that Jiang Ming and Jiang Qi, who were the same age as him, were not married yet, and there were many bachelors among the secret guards.

"I'll have someone do statistics tomorrow, and then I'll make a good choice."
