Orion's pretty daughter-in-law

Chapter 174 The Problem of Having a Child
What was contained in the red envelope was a bank note with a face value of 1000 taels.

Yes, the Duke’s Mansion is not short of money, and the Zhou family and Yan Jinghong also have a lot of property under their names. It’s really not worth the difference of 1000 taels of silver, but the general red envelopes are especially for children like Ming Feng who are only five or six years old. , It’s about 200 taels for those who are close to each other during the holidays, and 20 taels and 50 taels for others. After all, they are children, and if they are given, they will be saved by their parents. There is no need to give too much. Yan Mingfeng When he was born, the Duke's Mansion prepared a lot of private property for him alone, and usually the elders gave him a little kindness, once they blessed him.

Luo Jinxiu was really shocked by this.

"Is this too much, we...?" Zhou asked hesitantly.

Yan Jinghong thought for a while and said, "Since it's Jinxiu's wish, let's accept it."

"Is this appropriate?" Zhou frowned.

Yan Jinghong smiled, "Otherwise, you still want to return it? I've never heard of anyone taking a red envelope and returning it, so you're not afraid to be mistaken for not wanting to accept Jinxiu's blessings to Feng'er, and not treating her as your own." people watching?"

Mrs. Zhou hurriedly said: "How could it be! Don't talk nonsense, Jinxiu is such a good person, I naturally treat her as a family member." It is precisely because I am my own that I don't want her to spend so much money.

Yan Jinghong took off his coat, walked to the bed and sat down, patted her on the shoulder, and half-jokingly said, "In that case, I'll accept it. Anyway, Jinxiu has earned so much money. Happy Chinese New Year, it's nothing to give the younger generation some pocket money."

Zhou looked at him helplessly, with a bit of resentment in his eyes, seeing what he said, it seemed that he was deliberately taking advantage of Jinxiu, but she also knew that he was just saying this on purpose to reassure her, and looked down at the bank note in his hand, With a sigh of relief, he didn't think about it any more, and carefully put it into the wooden box specially stored in Ming Feng's property and valuables such as bank notes.

On the second day of junior high school, Yan Jingxian, who got married, went back to her natal home with her husband and son-in-law, and brought their two-year-old daughter with them.

Same as yesterday, Luo Jinxiu showed obvious love for this soft and chubby girl, not only gave the same red envelope as Yan Mingfeng, but also hugged her in her arms, pinched here, touched there, and asked her something in a low voice. Comprehensible questions such as 'Do you know who I am? ''Did you eat delicious food at home?''Be good or not' and so on.

The men were all talking about topics they were interested in on the other side, while the female relatives were led by Mrs. Xu to talk in her yard.

At this moment, the topic that Mrs. Shizi and the third wives are talking about has something to do with Luo Jinxiu.

"A few years ago, I heard that several ladies who had been staying in the boudoir had engaged in marriage. I'm afraid there will be a lot of weddings in Beijing soon after the year." Don't think that the wives of rich families are not like ordinary people. Gossip, they have money and leisure, and they have someone to take care of everything, so they need these gossips to pass the time.

The third lady looked at Luo Jinxiu who was holding Xiao Zhiyao's chubby flesh with a smile, and said: "Speaking of which, I have met the ladies of those families before, and they are all not very good-looking. "There are many problems such as dark complexion, or spots on the face, dry skin and poor complexion.

"They all seem to have used the ointment of 'Splendid Edge'."

As soon as her own shop was mentioned, Luo Jinxiu raised her head slightly.

Others also came and raised their ears with interest. Yan Jingshu said with bright eyes: "I know! They haven't made a marriage before, probably because they haven't found a husband's family that satisfies their family." To be more precise, it is The people they fancy look down on their daughters whose parents are not good enough.

"Then after they used the cousin's sister-in-law's ointment, did they all become more beautiful, so they found a husband and son-in-law so quickly!? Am I right!?"

The third lady poked her daughter's forehead, and said with a smile: "You are the only one who is smart, but you are indeed right. Whoever uses Jinxiu's ointment will know the effect. The effect is first-class."

"Speaking of which, there seems to be one of the people who came to the Lu family to pay New Year's greetings two days ago." Yan Jingxian said suddenly: "At that time, I saw that the lady from the Liu family was indeed much prettier than before, and her complexion was better. It's also whiter, isn't there a saying that one white covers all ugliness, not to mention that Miss Liu's skin is dark, so she doesn't look unattractive."

Several other people who have met Miss Liu also agree with this point. Miss Liu is indeed not ugly, and she is very talented and has a good personality. However, those people from the aristocratic families in Beijing are holding on to the other party's dark skin. Disgusted, in the past when they participated in some flower viewing parties and tea parties, they often listened to some imperial wives mocking Mrs. Liu openly and secretly.

That is to say, Mrs. Liu's temper is too soft. If it were them, those people would have to swallow all the words they spit out.

But if Miss Liu's family were reincarnated in the Duke's Mansion, few people would dare to say those disgusting words.

"In this way, Jinxiu has become a matchmaker for those few families. You have to ask them to wrap you a big red envelope." Mrs. Shizi joked.

Luo Jinxiu smiled, "Why are you making a special red envelope? If it's really because of the fat that they found a good relationship, in order to continue to maintain their appearance, they will definitely support the 'Splendid Fate' business in the future. Let me earn more. It's paid off."

It's just that she only married each other because of the improvement of his appearance. To be honest, she didn't think much of such a man, and she was afraid that some of them would have to look at other good-looking men even after they got married. woman.

But it is also possible that people who were not very eye-catching in the past, attracted the attention of others by improving their appearance, and then discovered the beauty of their own personality, and then married, she would still sincerely wish those people a happy marriage .

Opening a shop can also be used as a kind of merit in a disguised form to help people protect the media?
The female relatives were talking about whose wife had a good relationship with them, and that they were going to set a cup of wedding wine to drink. As they talked, the topic began to extend to whose wife gave birth to a son a year ago. There will be a big banquet; so-and-so's daughter is not married to a good match. She had a big fight a few days ago and returned to her mother's house. I am afraid that this year will not be a good one.

Some people also said that the daughter-in-law of so-and-so's family has been married for several years and has not moved her stomach. She was made things difficult by her mother-in-law, and her husband also complained about it, lingering in the yards of other concubines, and let the concubines conceive children first, etc.

In the end, this kind of situation is disgusted by the people in the Duke's Mansion, but it is the normal state of most big families. It is commonplace, and they are used to it.

But when this topic was brought up this time, Mrs. Xu and Mrs. Shizi felt their hearts moved at the same time. After yesterday evening, Mrs. Shizi and the third lady approached Mrs. Xu to talk about what they had thought before, and asked for opinions by the way. This is inconvenient for them Care, or don't ask too much?

At that time, Mrs. Xu didn't say anything clearly, but at this moment, seeing Luo Jinxiu's doting look on Xiao Zhiyao, she said, "Jinxiu, it seems that you and Jing Hao have been married for a while."

As soon as Mrs. Shizi and Mrs. Third heard what her mother-in-law meant, they immediately cheered up.

Luo Jinxiu nodded suspiciously, "Yes, it's been two years."

Xu looked at Xiao Zhiyao, "Seeing how you love Zhiyao so much, you don't want to have a little padded jacket with you? Of course, it's okay if you like your son more, even if boys are more mischievous, it's easier to raise them." Fee God."

Huh?Why did this suddenly come to the topic of children?
Thinking about the first question again, and the looks of the eldest aunt and the younger aunt who both want to speak and have concerns, it suddenly dawned on me, and then I felt a little funny and heart-warming.

"You want to ask, why has Jing Hao and I been married these days, and my stomach hasn't moved yet, right?" Luo Jinxiu expressed Xu's intention quite directly.

Xu's expression didn't change much, but other people's expressions were different. The Shizi's wife and the third wife were afraid that she might misunderstand, so they immediately explained: "Jinxiu, don't think too much, we are not urging you, our family doesn't care about you. If you have a boy or a girl, or if you don't, I will never blame you."

"That's right, Jinxiu, we just asked in doubt, it's okay if you don't want to talk about it."

Among Zhou and Wu, Wu can understand this best. She has been in the family for two years, but she has not given birth to a son and a half for Yan Jingyu so far. None of the elders in the Duke's Mansion blamed her for this. She, who puts pressure on her, is often afraid that she will think too much, and will let her relax intentionally or unintentionally.

Because of the family rules of the Duke's Mansion, Yan Jingyu never thought about taking a concubine.

Counting further up, Yan Junrui, the second master of the Duke's Mansion, who was a general in the army and did not return for the Chinese New Year, and his late wife had only one daughter, Yan Jingxian. After Yu's second wife died, Yan Junrui would definitely take a concubine and give birth to a son, but neither the old Duke nor the Xu family had such an idea.

Otherwise, people from many aristocratic families in the capital say that anyone who can marry into the Duke's Mansion as a daughter-in-law must have accumulated great virtue in the previous life, so how many people are envious and jealous.

"I know you are just out of concern." Luo Jinxiu said with a smile: "Although you didn't ask about one thing, I can also say that Jing Hao and I don't have any health problems, and we can definitely have a child if we want it. "

Everyone carefully observed her expression, making sure that she was not only comforting them, but also not feeling unhappy, so they relaxed a little. Yan Jingshu, the youngest, was the first to ask: "Then why haven't you given birth to play yet?"

The corner of Luo Jinxiu's mouth twitched, and she looked at her helplessly.

Is it really a little girl who is not yet married, and the child is just for fun?
Although, she was shaking Lu Zhiyao in her arms, she really looked like she was just playing.

"First of all, I have to remind you that having a baby is not something you can say you want to have right away." Luo Jinxiu smiled.
