Chapter 372 Give birth to a sleeping god

It was the end of October when the food collection was completed.

After more than a month, the time will enter the end of the year.

Although Cui Pu became the magistrate just this year, but because he boldly stood up for the people in the matter of grain requisition, and successfully ordered Wan Tianci to return the overcollected grain to the people, he won the hearts of many people in a short time.

So this year, both he and Mu Jiaojiao lived extremely comfortably.

After learning about his behavior, Elder Cui Ge of Chang'an City wrote a letter to praise him—it was a real compliment, completely different from the previous situation where he praised him with ten sentences.After Cui Pu received the letter, he was very happy for a long time. At one point, he had to put the letter under his pillow, and when he woke up, he would take it out and read it again, feeling silly for a while.

Both children couldn't stand that silly smile, and Mu Jiaojiao was completely speechless towards him.

It was also because he was in a good mood that on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, the magistrates from all over the country came to pay New Year's greetings. Cui Pu treated them very kindly, and he didn't even find fault with Wu Lixin and Chen Junbi.

Wu Lixin was still worried about Wan Tianci for a long time. He waited until the end of the year, and found that there was no news from Chang'an, and Li Linfu did not come to trouble him again, so he finally believed Pei's words.It's just that after this incident, there was a knot in his heart, but he felt a little strange how he looked at Mrs. Pei, and the relationship between husband and wife, which was not very harmonious, became more and more distant and indifferent.

Seeing Cui Pu again this time, the two eyes met from a distance, he couldn't help but recall the appearance of Cui Pu when he contemptuously spit out the words "useless things" that day, a wave of inferiority flooded his body, and he couldn't even He didn't dare to lift his head up.

Not to mention Chen Junbi.He has been scolded badly by the people of Hailing County in the past few months, and he also has some mental attacks from time to time, which makes him very depressed.Now when he came to Cui Pu, even if he wanted to flatter him, he really didn't have the strength.

Now that Cui Pu doesn't come to trouble him, he is already thankful.

But in the backyard, Mu Jiaojiao called Mrs. Pei to him.

"During this time, is your life difficult?" After a few casual exchanges, Mu Jiaojiao suddenly asked.

Pei's eyes were sour, and she quickly squeezed out a smile: "Madam Zhifu, what are you talking about? I am a magistrate magistrate, if life is not easy, wouldn't the people below be worse off than dead?"

"You know what I mean." Mu Jiaojiao said.

Pei Shi pursed her lips and remained silent.

Seeing that she still refused to speak, Mu Jiaojiao just sighed: "That time a year ago, the magistrate and the others were able to move so quickly, thanks to your secret assistance, we have all remembered this kindness. But you should understand , if you want your family to stand upright in this muddy water, you can do it based on your actions alone. You man... Forget it, let’s not talk about him. I will only say good things once-if you really want to If it goes on for a long time, you must hold the dominance in your own hands. Now is not the time to give him face. If life is gone, what's the use of face?"

Pei's heart was shocked, and she quickly looked up at her.

Mu Jiaojiao had already turned her head away.

"I'm tired. Mung Dou, help me in and have a rest."

Up to now, Mu Jiaojiao has been pregnant for nine months, and the child in her womb may be activated at any time.Therefore, if she can seize the opportunity to call Mrs. Pei over to say a few words, it is already a great deal of face to her.

Pei knew it well.

Therefore, after watching Mu Jiaojiao's figure go away, she couldn't help but shrink back, and her eyes gradually darkened.

After returning to Tianchang County, a series of things happened in the county government in just a few days.In fact, the matter is not big, it is just a collision between the county magistrate and the magistrate's wife caused by some matters inside and outside the county government.But the people in the county government office all clearly discovered that after these several collisions, it all ended with the matriarch of the county magistrate winning a big victory!

And after these ups and downs, their county grandpa's status in the mansion has obviously dropped again and again, and now he has been firmly stepped under the feet of the magistrate's wife!

Wu Lixin wanted to resist, but Mrs. Pei was determined to suppress him this time, and there was Mr. Wu Xiaolang beside him, cheering on A Niang.Under the joint suppression of the mother and son, Wu Lixin had no chance to stand up.

The end result, naturally, is that the Pei family wins.Even in the next few decades, everything about Wu Lixin—whether it was in or out of court—was under the sole control of Mrs. Pei, and he could never break free in his life.

When Mu Jiaojiao heard the news, a smile appeared on her face: "She should have done this a long time ago!"

"Why should it be early? Isn't this a good time? After we've had enough of the fun, they'll change their ways and follow our lead. How much fun we'd lose if we changed earlier!" Cui Pu said immediately.

"You...Pfft!" Mu Jiaojiao laughed out loud again at his shamelessness.

But after a few laughs, her face suddenly changed, and her laughter turned into a low moan.

Cui Pu saw that something was wrong, and quickly helped her up. "What's wrong?"

"It should be...the child is coming out." Mu Jiaojiao gritted his teeth.

Fortunately, with the experience of the previous two times as a foreshadowing, they are already familiar with it now.Cui Pu hurriedly carried Mu Jiaojiao into the delivery room, Mung Dou went to invite the Imperial Physician Chang and Wen Po, Hong Dou also threw her daughter to Xiao Si'er, and ran into the delivery room to serve Mu Jiaojiao.Cui Pu, a living person, was kicked out by a group of people.

After waiting outside for half a day, a burst of crisp crying sounded into everyone's ears through the doors and windows.

Cui Pu breathed a sigh of relief.

Soon Po Wen came out, and said with a smile: "Congratulations to Governor Cui, Madam has added another young gentleman to you!"

The smile on Cui Pu's face couldn't hold back anymore.

When Wen Po saw it, her heart skipped a beat, and a bad feeling came over her.Although she didn't understand what was going on.

Wei Zhuang, who came over after hearing the news, hurried forward to congratulate him: "Congratulations, brother-in-law, you have another son! From now on, your Da Lang will have a companion!"

"But my eldest lady doesn't have one yet! She's still the youngest!" Cui Pu whispered, looking fondly at the blinking eldest lady at her feet.

The eldest lady quickly smiled sweetly at him: "Father, it's okay! You and Auntie will work harder, and you will definitely give me another sister!"

Mr. Dalang also nodded his head desperately: "My sister will have it, and I will have it soon!"

Just over two years old, he is much more talkative.Recently, I have been running and playing with a group of dolls every day, and I can already speak long sentences.This ability is one of the few dolls in the same age group.

However, Cui Pu was obviously dissatisfied with the son's words.

"Who knows if no matter how hard you work, you will still work hard to produce a brat like you? I don't want her to suffer from this kind of pregnancy anymore!"

Mr. Dalang pouted his mouth, turned his head, and ignored him.

The eldest lady took his hand and shook it: "Father, I want to see little brother."

"Okay, let's go see your mother and brother~" Facing his daughter, Cui Pu immediately put on an extremely gentle face.

At this time, Mu Jiaojiao had already been moved out of the delivery room, and was leaning on the bedside drinking brown sugar water.Wen Po had just bathed the newborn, wrapped it in silk and carried it over.

Cui Pu hurried forward, took the bowl from Mung Dou as usual, picked up the spoon and fed Mu Jiaojiao sugar water one bite at a time.

Looking at her haggard face, he whispered, "Thank you for your hard work."

Mu Jiaojiao shook her head with a shallow smile: "The birth went smoothly this time, and I didn't suffer much. It's just that the little lady you wanted was still not born, are you disappointed?"

"Yeah, I'm very disappointed. However, the baby has already been born, so let's keep it! Our family does not lack his rations." Cui Pu said boredly, but the action of feeding sugar water on his hands did not stop.

Mu Jiaojiao could only helplessly shake his head when he heard the words.

Look over there again, the eldest lady and Da Langjun have already gathered around the little cradle, commenting on their little brother.

"Little brother is so ugly." The eldest lady said.

Mr. Dalang nodded. "It's ugly."

"Big lady, Mr. Da Lang, the little baby is like this when it is born. The more red the child is, the more white and beautiful it will be in the future. When Mr. Erlang grows up, he must be as handsome as Cui Zhifu " Wen Po laughed quickly.

"Really? But you can't see it now!" the eldest lady said, and couldn't help poking her little brother with her little finger.

Mr. Da Lang followed suit with two pokes.

After being poked and poked by brothers and sisters in turn, the baby in the swaddling baby remained motionless, just closed his eyes and rested, as if he didn't notice their existence.

Seeing this, Mrs. Wen couldn't help laughing and said: "Mr. Erlang has such a calm temperament. He will grow up to be great in the future!"

When Mu Jiaojiao heard this, she couldn't help but think of her various performances during her pregnancy, and a strange premonition faintly rose in her heart.

Later facts quickly proved that her hunch was correct.

In the following days, she took confinement to raise her body, and the baby was brought by the wet nurse, eating and sleeping every day.

This time, it was a veritable eat, sleep and eat.The nanny who brought up Mr. Erlang used to lament that she had never raised such a quiet and obedient child, but after seeing Mr. Erlang's ability, she never said these things again.

Because Mr. Erlang is truly quiet and obedient, and he doesn't mess with anything!

Mr. Da Lang was hungry and peed, and even hummed a few times, twisting his small body.Mr. Erlang is fine, unless he is extremely hungry, he only opens his mouth to take a few mouthfuls of the nanny's milk, and he sleeps at all other times!
This performance not only frightened the nanny, even Mu Jiaojiao, Cui Pu, Wei Zhuang and even Wang Shiqi and his wife couldn't help being frightened when they heard the news, and couldn't help but move closer to the little baby.

Fortunately, Mu Jiaojiao took the child's pulse every day to make sure that he was in good health, but it was only because he was sleepy that everyone felt at ease.

It’s just that this is the first time everyone has seen such a sleepy child, and every time I have nothing to do, I can’t help but come over to watch the excitement.

In the blink of an eye, three months passed, and Mr. Erlang transformed from a little pink monkey into a white, tender and beautiful baby under the watchful eyes of everyone.

He is really handsome.The small eyebrows, small eyes, small nose and small mouth are exactly the same as Mu Jiaojiao.If the baby fat is removed again, I'm afraid that the small face will be exactly the same as Mu Jiaojiao's.

Such beautiful facial features were born on a male doll, isn't it so beautiful that it makes people feel distressed?
Now, the sisters Mu Yiyi and Mu Yiyi couldn't help but hurt the child to the bone.Even Cui Pu frowned at this son who looked more and more like Mu Jiaojiao, the displeasure between his brows gradually faded away.Taking advantage of Mu Jiaojiao's absence a few times, he secretly hugged her twice.

However, this doll still has a big problem - he is too lazy!
Three-month-old dolls usually turn over and laugh.But this child is fine, every day he either nurses or sleeps, and does nothing else.If you give him a push, he can turn his head on one side and continue sleeping for you to see.Otherwise, just sleep face down!
Mu Jiaojiao and Cui Pu couldn't do anything about it, both of them were anxious to death.

And at this time, the latest news came from outside - this year's summer floods are here, and several dams in Yangzhou Mansion are about to be washed away by heavy rain!
