Good farming at the foot of Changbai Mountain

Chapter 307
In March of the 12th year of Daqi Tianshun, Dong's Mansion in Shuangdian County.

"Hey, I don't know how Jiajun is doing in the capital? It is supposed to be over now, right? I wonder if Jiajun will be a Jinshi this year." An old woman sat on the kang and said to the woman opposite This word.This old woman, probably in her sixties, looks quite rich.

"Mom, why are you in a hurry? Jiajun is only 25 years old this year. I remember when the second child was 28 before he won the Jinshi. We Jiajun didn't pass this year, so we will take the exam again. This is still Jiajun's hard work." You have to take the exam, otherwise, the Xu family would have wanted to give Jiajun a chance to find an official position." A woman sat across from the old woman, about 40 years old, and in good condition.No matter how she looked, she was also a beauty when she was young.

"If you are from a family background, if you are an official, it is not as good as a Jinshi background. You see, the fifth child of the Xu family is just a state magistrate. It seems that it will be difficult to go up again. Our Jiajun is full of spirit. Gao, how can he be so willing to do so? He wants to fight, so we should support it." The old lady couldn't help but smile when she mentioned her children and grandchildren. "The second child is doing well now. He has become an official who knows the state. Didn't he say that he will be transferred back to the capital in the next year?"

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were talking, when a girl came in from outside, "Old lady, eldest lady, young mistress is here."

As soon as the outer door opened, a girl came in with the help of a girl with a big belly. From this appearance, she might be about to give birth soon.It was none other than Jinghe who came.

With the support of girls Jixiang and Ruyi, Jinghe entered the house, came to her mother-in-law and grandma, and slightly bent her knees, "Grandma, mother."

"You are about to give birth, so what are you doing here? Be careful of your body." Jinghe's mother-in-law, Feng Shi, hurriedly waved her hand and asked Jinghe to sit down.

"My daughter-in-law stays in the house all day, and she also feels suffocated and panicked. She just comes out for a walk, and it will be easier to have a baby then." Jing He smiled and didn't say much.

Jinghe was married in the first lunar month of Tianshun's eighth year. In that year, Dongyue gave birth to her eldest son, and a year later, she gave birth to her second son.Now this is the third one in my stomach, and I don't know if it's a boy or a girl.Over the past four years of marriage, the relationship between the young couple is not bad, but the old lady of the Dong family is old-fashioned, and she is willing to talk about things with etiquette at every turn.Fortunately, Jinghe has a good temper and gave birth to two sons in succession. Now she is doing well in Dong's family.

"Well, it's good to move around more, and the birth will be faster then. You are the third one, so it should be fine." The old lady sat on the kang, looked at her grandson's belly, and nodded with satisfaction.The old lady is quite satisfied with this granddaughter-in-law.Today, four sons of the Xu family are officials in the court, and one is a marquis.The other brother-in-laws are not only officials, but also a prince, which is amazing.With such a natal family, Jinghe is still the same, humble and submissive, this is what the old lady is most satisfied with.

"It would be great if Jiajun could go to high school this time. Our family has two Jinshi." The old lady murmured.

"Xianggong has been working hard for the past three years, and he will definitely be able to pass high school this year. Grandma can rest assured and wait for someone to announce the good news." Jinghe is very confident in her husband.

The old lady naturally liked to hear this, and when she heard the granddaughter-in-law say that, she nodded quickly, "Yes, yes, I will definitely be able to go to high school."

Just as I was talking, someone outside shouted, "Mother, there is a letter from the capital, and we have won the Jiajun." With an excited look.

"Really? Jiajun really got hit?" The old lady stood up excitedly when she heard this. "What did the letter say? Read it to me quickly."

"Mother, Jiajun won No.3 in the second class, and Jiajun won the Jinshi. This letter was sent by Mr. Xu Jiadalang, saying that Jiajun would come back soon, and the emperor gave these Jinshi two After a one-month vacation, I will return to Beijing to enter the Imperial Academy after returning to my hometown to worship my ancestors." Dong Shaochang took the letter and told his mother the contents of the letter.

"Okay, okay, great, great. Our Jiajun will be regarded as a glorious ancestor, old man, have you heard? Not only our son has become an official, but now our grandson is also a Jinshi." The old lady endured I couldn't help crying with joy.

Feng Shihe Jinghe hurried forward to comfort her, and after a while, the old lady recovered. "Hurry up and get ready. Jiajun is coming back soon. We have to celebrate well. This time, all relatives and friends are invited. Let's set up a banquet for him for three days and three nights." The old lady ordered.

Dong Shaochang quickly agreed, and then he and his wife went to prepare.

Jinghe was naturally also happy, "Grandma, father, mother, and daughter-in-law are going back to the room first. The daughter-in-law is in her current state, and she can't help much. Father and mother are tired." Jinghe stood up and bowed to the three of them. About to turn around and go back to the room.

However, before she took two steps, she felt a pain in her stomach, "No, I seem to be about to give birth."

Right now, the Dong family is full of excitement. The youngest master has won a Jinshi, and the youngest wife is about to give birth. This is a double blessing.Fortunately, the delivery room had been prepared long ago. Jinghe was sent to the delivery room with the support of a few maids and women. Someone was looking for the midwife there, and everyone became busy.

Jinghe lay on the kang, her stomach hurting intermittently.After all, she had given birth to two children, and she was quite experienced. The most important thing at this time was to preserve her strength, so she gritted her teeth, didn't yell or yell, and asked the girl to prepare some food for her.When the girl brought poached eggs, Jing He ate four of them in one go.

Jinghe gave birth quite quickly. An hour later, there was a loud cry of a baby in the room, and the baby was born.

A girl in the delivery room came out to report, "It's born, it's born, the young lady gave birth to a son."

Outside the delivery room, the old lady of the Dong family and Mrs. Feng were very happy, "Okay, okay, boy. Hurry up, send someone to report to the in-laws, and they say that Jinghe gave birth, mother and child are safe. In addition, everyone in the mansion The servants will all give me two months' money, and I will take out two baskets of money outside to reward those beggars." The old lady was quite generous.

"Thank you, old lady." These servants were also very happy.

Lying quietly on the kang, listening to the movement outside, she gradually closed her eyes. "Jixiang, take a good look at the third young master. I'm tired, so I'll sleep for a while." The labor just now exhausted her energy.

"Young Mistress, take a good rest. You are a great contributor now." Jixiang and Ruyi next to her neatly cleaned up the house, and then placed the baby beside Jinghe. "The third young master looks very strong, he is a beautiful child."
