Not only did Wen Wan's stomach inflate like a balloon. My whole body started to blow. Wen Wan often looks at the person in the mirror, who is getting rounder and swollen day by day, and feels sad (for fear that her appearance will not be restored in the future).
Xia Yao is always frightened.
Wen Wan has gained weight, and Xia Yao, Xia Ying, Xia Xiang and Xia Xian who took care of her have obviously lost a lot of weight. Not only do they have to worry about Wen Wan's birth, but they also have to worry about Wen Wan's condition.
Wenwan¡¯s belly is getting bigger and bigger. The growing belly often makes it difficult for Wen Wan to breathe, and the cramps and pain in her legs exist every day. At night, her belly is too big to hold the child. Wen Wan could only sleep on her left or right side. When she finally felt a little sleepy, the child kicked her legs to make her sleepless. There are also frequent urination, flatulence, and general weakness. Those who have never given birth to a child will never know the pain of having a child.
Wenwan sleeps less and less, and her temper becomes worse and worse. A vicious cycle, and the complexion is getting worse and worse. If it weren't for Wen Wan, she has been studying the precautions during pregnancy seriously, such as abdominal breathing, etc., plus some things she knows. I don¡¯t know if I can resist it.
Seeing how uncomfortable Wen Wan was, Xia Yao once couldn't help but said, "It's better to come out earlier." They all felt uncomfortable watching Wen Wan suffer like this. Terrified.
Wen Wan scolded: "Nonsense, the longer the child is in the belly, the healthier the body will be. It is difficult to take care of premature children. Not to mention in such an era of backward medical care. It is best to have a full-term baby. But the imperial doctor The words are very clear, the child will most likely be born prematurely, so Wen Wan should be mentally prepared.
Wenwan is mentally prepared, but she still hopes that the child can stay in her belly for a while longer. One day is as long as one day can last.
Xia Yao apologized for saying the wrong thing with a smile. Wen Wan stroked her belly and said, "Baby, don't listen to your aunt, just grow in your belly obediently. Mom won't be tired either." Wen Wan was talking about her mother at first, but then Xia Yao asked her how to make the baby Call her mama. Isn¡¯t this a mess? Well, after Wen Wan, I changed my name to Niang.
After talking gently, the child in the belly became very quiet. Don't kick him anymore. Just listen to him quietly: "Baby, mother has suffered so much for you. When you give birth to a child, you must be filial to mother when you grow up. If you are naughty and disobedient, mother's suffering will be in vain. As for You dad, don¡¯t pay attention to him.¡±
Xia Yao and Xia Ying on the side smiled and watched Wen Wan chattering to the child for a long time. Sometimes when I feel tired, I ask the two maids to read.
Wen Wan could not help but say that day: "I think these must be a son and a daughter. The son is very naughty and mischievous, and the daughter is very quiet. She likes to listen to my stories."
The people around him naturally echoed the gentle words: "It must be a son and a daughter. Princess, you also have a son and a daughter. When the general comes back. What you asked for has been achieved."
Wen Wan smiled very sweetly when she heard this: "Yes, we have a son and a daughter. When they look the same, and let them wear the same clothes, only I, the mother, will recognize them. Even their father will recognize them. Not coming out.¡±
Xia Xian brought a plate of fruit and peeled it for Wen Wan to eat. Wenwan ate a few. The masseur came over and started massaging Wen Wan again.
Wen Wan's body was throbbing with pain, but Wen Wan was squinting her eyes. Only the expression on her face showed that Wen Wan was in pain at this time.
Xia Yao finally understood what Wen Wan said. In the future, you will have to bear the burden of having children on your own, and you will have to raise the children by yourself when they grow up. It's easy to say it, but you really have to do it yourself to know how hard it is. Now she can appreciate the hard work. Only then did she understand. The princess said those words helplessly. These must have been expected by the princess. She could now understand why the princess was hesitant at that time. When a person is suffering, the person who should be by his side the most is thousands of miles away and cannot be relied on. Only the person involved can experience this feeling.
The princess acted in a reserved manner, but when talking to her children, she often talked about the general in a teasing tone. This is also a kind of disappointment and desire for the princess.
Doctor Zhang privately told Xia Yao, "Although the princess has no signs of giving birth, she still needs to be prepared. It's been eight months now, so be especially careful."
Xia Yao hopes Wen Wan will give birth to the child as soon as possible. You don't have to suffer so much. But after hearing too many gentle whispers, I would rather suffer more. I also hope that the baby will be born at full term. Xia Yao also hopes that the child can be born full term. In this way, the child will be healthier and stronger than the average person.
It¡¯s a pity that such things are not subject to human will. None of them knew when the child would come out. All they can do is make adequate preparations.
When Wen Wan heard that Meier was coming, she smiled and let her in. Meier looked at Wen Wan, who was plump and had a swollen face. Very worried.She has given birth to two children, and now she is pregnant with the third one. They are all fine. Although the first baby was a little uncomfortable, it was not exaggerated like a gentle one.
Wen Wan looked at Meier and said with a smile: "You are so true. You have a big belly and are taking good care of your baby at home. The road is so bumpy, and you don't know how to cherish yourself."
Mei'er's baby is also four months old, and her waist is bulging. Hearing Wen Wan's words, he smiled and said: "I'm fine, I'm still walking as fast as flying. I haven't let go of the things in the mansion yet! I can eat and sleep soundly. But you, I'm pregnant with three children. It¡¯s so frustrating for you to suffer so much.¡±
Wen Wan touched her bulging belly: "Yeah, I guess the kids will be noisy in the future. I'll have to worry about it in the future." She said this, but the corners of her mouth were raised. Even if it¡¯s noisy, it needs to be worried about. There are also people who let themselves worry. Watching your children grow up day by day will also be a happy worry.
Meier just came over to chat with Wen Wan, and Wen Wan said her guess: "Sometimes it's very quiet, and sometimes it's noisy. When it's quiet, I can have a good sleep. When it's noisy, I couldn't sleep all night. It's probably a boy and a girl."
Mei'er laughed loudly after hearing this: "That's just right. My daughter, you will be the daughter-in-law of Prince Chun, and my son will be my son-in-law. You don't know that the two of them were very angry at the beginning. Since they found out that you were pregnant with twins, they have been People don¡¯t fight anymore. My eldest son said, if we are not compatible with each other, I will definitely marry you as my son and daughter again. Prince Chun also said that you will not be able to escape from these two families anyway. ¡±
Wen Wan said unhappily: "He's fooling around again. He caused so much trouble last time when he was fooling around. He won't stop."
About the rumors in the palace. Meier also vaguely heard some. Then he said with a smile: "Prince Chun is making noises about marrying you. Those rumors have been disproven. I think this time the trouble is quite good." The child who cannot be gentle is Yan Qixuan. Yes, Yan Qixuan wants to marry Wen Wan as his son and daughter. So, when it came out that Yan Qixuan and Wen Wan were going to be their sons and daughters. No one talks about it anymore.
Wen Wan disdained: "As long as Bai Shinian believes in me, I don't care at all what those bullshit, ghosts, gods, and snakes say. Anyway, I have been criticized enough since I was a child. If I had to care, I would have been mad to death. I can still be good. Live until now. "It's only the shameful things that make those disgusting and dirty methods.
Xia Xian brought a glass of juice to Mei'er. After taking a sip, Meier laughed heartily: "I'm telling you. The juice I drink at home is not as delicious as the one in your mansion. The prince said, I am It¡¯s free to drink your food, so everything is good.¡±
Wen Wan couldn¡¯t stop laughing after hearing this.
After Meier finished drinking: "But to be honest, I think the juice here is better than the one at mine! Is it really good to drink it for free without paying for it?"
Wen Wan smiled and scolded: "Tell Luo Shouxun. There is something special about this juice. Just ask Xia Xian. I have a headache just listening to the process. First, you have to select the best from the fresh fruits that were just delivered, and then blend them with a certain amount." Water, add sugar. And it says it tastes best when it¡¯s hot or cold.¡±
Meier shook her head: "My family's food is already very sophisticated. Compared with yours, it's really child's play. But you are also lucky to have a maid like Xia Xian who is good at cooking. Even if the same thing is cooked, Her hands are different."
Nodding gently. Strongly agreed: "So, whoever marries her in the future will be blessed!"
Xia Yao and Xia Ying looked at each other, and the princess came again.
Sure enough, Wen Wan and Mei Er were chatting about Xia Xian's life events. Wen Wan sighed and began to search among the guards in the mansion. These women were too high-minded to look down on any of them. Later, when I asked people outside, they were either filling houses or looking at the signboard of the princess's mansion. Some of them were really unsightly. Not only that. Xia Xiang and Xia Xian also always dislike Wen Wan and being troublesome.
After talking for a long time, Meier talked about business matters: "Wen Wan, I want to save a dowry for my daughter. You, the future mother-in-law, need to come up with more ideas."
Wen Wan waved her hand: "I won't do it. Thank you to me." They laughed and teased each other and said, "Is it because people outside are starting to get interested in foreign trade? Luo Shouxun is also jealous." Even if the housekeeper Zhao comes again, Ability cannot withstand the pressure from all forces. It's only been more than three months, and I can't bear it anymore.
Meier admired her very much: "You, you. You can know the world without going out. My eldest son has this idea, and we don't have much idea. We just want to save some wealth for our son and more dowry for our daughter. Wen Wan, "Look at this business, can we get involved?"
Wen Wan did not object: "If you are prepared to startIf you import goods to the capital or other prosperous cities, it shouldn't be a big problem to make the price difference. But if you want to go overseas, the initial investment will be very large. Although the profits are very considerable, the risks are equally high. If you just want to save some money, I suggest it¡¯s better to play it safe. If you want to make a lot of money, be prepared to lose everything. I¡¯m not afraid to tell you the truth. When I first set up my business, I set the goal of starting to make money in three years. But with luck, I made money in the first year. Even so, I have to prepare a large amount of money every year to prepare for emergencies. "
Xia Xian interrupted when she heard this: "Mrs. Luo, you don't know. Our big shopkeeper has always said that our princess is under the care of the God of Wealth. In the past few years, the business has never encountered a big storm. Even small storms are safe. Shopkeeper Jiang said that my princess was born with wealth, so she might be the daughter of the God of Wealth!"
Wen Wan was happy after hearing this.
But Meier believed this sentence very much: "Not to mention your shopkeeper Jiang, I also believe that your princess is the daughter of the God of Wealth. How about letting her make a fortune!" She said that she would stop here. After getting off, he said, "Wen Wan, you are really willing to give up your business to others. You built it bit by bit. If you hand it over to others like this, I feel sad for a long time."
Except for some secrets, Wen Wan has never hidden anything from Meier. But usually I tell you when it¡¯s mentioned, and I don¡¯t mention it when it¡¯s not mentioned. This topic was brought up, and he smiled and touched his belly: "You said that I don't want help now, how can you let me, a big-bellied woman, take care of such a big industry? I need help when I walk!"
Meier was stunned for a second, this gang. But it's different from Rang: "Wen Wan, you mean that the housekeeper Zhao is just helping to take care of it! No, did the emperor take back all these properties? What?"
Just as Wen Wan was about to speak, the little guy in her belly started making noise again: "Oh, my little guy is doing somersaults inside again."
Xia Yao hurried over to help, and after a while, she calmed down. Wen Wan smiled and said, "This child probably did somersaults while sleeping. Otherwise, it would take him a long time to make a fuss!" These are all Wen Wan's guesses.
Finish talking about the child. Wen Wan returned to the topic: "Why did the emperor take it back? These are not public properties, they were all made by me (it's just that the emperor had the big head and took the big share. And the emperor is the boss in the world, so it is necessary to take the big head. Yes). This time it was because I had trouble being pregnant, so I hired someone to help manage it. When the child is older, I will definitely take it back.¡± Not only the land deed of the business, but also the land deed of the large tea plantation purchased by Wen Wan. It's all here with her. All the key things in the bank are in her hands. The only one without ownership. There are only Mingyue Villa and Liulicang. Those two industries are under the name of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
Wenwan can let these go, but not now. Not to mention that there is no one who can reassure her, but her island has not yet been completed. It would be impossible for the trading house to hand it over. No more trading houses. It costs more money but it definitely takes more time and energy.
Mei'er was stunned, but she heard from Luo Shouxun that several princes, princes and dignitaries were thinking of ways to get people in, and they all wanted a piece of the soup. If this is the case, all ideas are in vain. Because these industries are bound to return to Wen Wan's hands.
Meier is very measured, and Wenwan would tell her this because she trusts her. But she always remembered her mother's words. Trust is mutual, Wenwan can trust her. That's because she's trustworthy. Mel has always adhered to this rule.
??Besides, women generally don¡¯t like to take risks. Meier is no exception. When I heard Wen Wan say that buying a seagoing ship and running my own business was very risky, it would be hard for one to go bankrupt. The Luo family's financial resources are not enough (to buy a boat, purchase goods, and hire people. As Haikou's economy develops, these will also increase exponentially). The family is not rich enough. If you want to do it, you must raise funds from outside. If something goes wrong, not only will you lose all your money, but you may also owe a large amount of debt. Meier definitely doesn't want to.
After Meier left, by coincidence, she received posts from Ruyu and Yutong. Wenwan didn't answer either of their posts. Now she is very short-tempered and has no strength to face those twists and turns anymore. Directly missing.
After Meier goes back and talks to Luo Shouxun about her gentle intentions, it is best to take the safe route. Traveling to sea on your own is risky.
Luo Shouxun's original intention was not to run away by himself. He is now older, and his son is about to kiss her in the blink of an eye (Wen Wan sweats: Your little tiger seems to be only six years old). If he had been ten years younger, he would not be able to do it now. Don't be brave enough to take risks again. I asked Meier to ask, just to find out what Wen Wan meant. If it succeeds, even if he can't partake of the soup from Guangyuan Trading Company, he can still get his own boat and run away: "Did Wen Wan say what to do with Guangyuan Trading Company? You really don't care?"
Mei'er shook her head: "Wen Wan is not good at caring and has short energy. How many words have she said?In a word, there is no spirit. It's not easy for me to bother her with this matter. However, the maid next to her said that Wen Wan was the God of Wealth. Wen Wan has never encountered a natural disaster in the past few years since he founded his trading company. He joked that Wen Wan is the daughter of the God of Wealth, and she takes special care of her! "
Luo Shouxun hesitated: "Well, Madam, what do you think?"
Mei'er was naturally unwilling: "What I mean is, it's better not to get involved. You first think about it if your uncle hadn't got involved in the first place. As for the confiscation of so much of our family's property. The property we worked so hard to acquire, In the end, it will all fill up the national treasury. It is better to make a little money. Anyway, we will have no worries about food and clothing in this life. As for the future betrothal gifts and dowry of Brother Hu, I now have a few thousand taels of income. In the future, the dowry and betrothal gifts for sons and daughters will not be bad either. "Mei'er said a few thousand taels for the younger ones. The fragrant powder store opened in partnership with Zhenzhen has an annual income of five to six thousand taels. Later, the stewards below became familiar with the people they met, and Meier and Zhenzhen opened another Western goods shop. The goods were also shipped directly from Guangyuan merchants, and the purchase price was 10% lower than others, so business has been good. Mei'er's annual income is only a drizzle compared to Wen Wan, but Mei'er is very satisfied. You know, the annual income of Guogong Mansion is only a few percent higher than Mei'er's.
Meier made money and followed what Wen Wan said. Money needs to be put into operation to make it grow more and more. But relatively speaking, Meier is still relatively conservative. The money she earned was used to buy properties and shops to expand her dowry. Now her dowry has quadrupled compared to when she got married. Because of this, her sisters-in-law were jealous.
But one can only be jealous, so what if she took advantage of Wen Wan. If you want to form a partnership, you can, but the partners must agree. As for going to the Duke's place to apply eye drops and check the accounts, it's done. After the investigation, Meier gave up her job. She didn't want to care about whoever wanted to care about it. Every year, a lot of money is subsidized to raise those blood-sucking insects (this is a word I learned from Wen Wan). I have to say that if you have money, you will have a strong waist!
When Meier said she would give up her job, the Duke¡¯s wife was also very courageous and said to the Duke that since she was not satisfied with Meier¡¯s stewardship. Then let whoever you want to be in charge of the house be in charge. As a result, less than two months. Everything in the Duke's Mansion was in chaos. The people below were all complaining, some said that monthly profits and silver were being deducted, and some said that food was being deducted. Some people say that the fabrics of the clothes are much worse than last year. The mansion was in a state of chaos. Before the Duke could say anything, Luo Shouxun became angry.
In the end, the Duke had no choice but to ask Meier to take charge of the house again. As for why there was so much excitement in less than two months, the Duke's wife and Mei'er must be behind it. If the Duke's palace really lets the concubine's daughter-in-law be the head of the family, people will laugh to death. For the Duke's wife, no matter how much Meier earns, it will all be left to her direct grandchildren. It's too late to be happy, so how can she be harshly criticized. Not to mention. Let those bastards irritate her.
After hearing this, Luo Shouxun was a little embarrassed: "We can't always rely on your dowry. When the time comes," Where will he put his face?
Meier rolled her eyes at Luo Shouxun: "What are you talking about? Mine is yours. If you say so, Wen Wan is so rich, Bai Shinian can't hold his head up in front of Wen Wan. Really. Say no more. I don¡¯t have to rely on you inside and outside the mansion. If you don¡¯t support me, my dowry will be troublesome, let alone making money. How can I make money even if I have those who come to look for trouble?¡± A big flag was placed there, but the signboard of the Duke's Mansion was also of no use. Moreover, whenever there was a dispute, Luo Shouxun was the one who came forward to resolve it.
After Luo Shouxun heard this, the embarrassment in his heart disappeared instantly. Mei'er looked at Luo Shouxun leaving and shook her head. This man really wanted to coax him.
Ping'er couldn't understand: "Madam, why don't you tell the prince. These properties actually belong to the princess. If the prince knew, he might completely give up this idea." Since Princess Wenwan is the owner of these properties, after giving birth to the child, , it must be taken back. The prince no longer made any plans. Judging from this appearance, the prince will definitely not give up.
Meier didn't care about this: "There is not much money in the public account, and he wants to withdraw a large amount of money from the public account in the front yard. The Duke must know it. The Duke has suffered such a big loss, and he only thinks about the happiness of the whole family." Lucky. Don't worry, he can't afford this business." Seeing Ping'er's expression, he said with a smile, "It's just that everyone knows that I am as close as a sister. Everyone can definitely guess what kind of big move it is. Wen Wan can tell me that I don¡¯t want to cause trouble for her unintentionally.¡±
Ping'er was very touched: "Madam, you are too careful." Since the princess can speak out, she is not afraid of spreading the word. But the lady was unwilling to reveal a word. It has been like this all these years. As long as it involves Princess Wenwan, Madam always remains silent. For example, regarding the fact that Princess Wenwan is Master Fuxi, although the lady flatly denies her true identity,?Know. But as the lady's personal maid, how could she not see that the girl must know. Otherwise, why wasn¡¯t there any shock or surprise at the time? Of course, it is good for the madam to keep secrets, but it seems not good to keep secrets from the prince all the time. Ping'er is worried that it will affect the couple's relationship.
Meier agreed very much: "You just have to be careful. I'd rather be safe than get into trouble. Otherwise, I would be too embarrassed to see Wen Wan. Over the years, I have taken advantage of Wen Wan a lot. It doesn't help." Wen Wan did one thing, but it couldn't cause her any trouble. "It's not that she didn't want to tell Luo Shouxun, but she didn't know how to tell Luo Shouxun. After all, it¡¯s my husband, so I can¡¯t say it¡¯s okay. However, Meier was worried.
Ping'er was cautious about his wife's affairs with Princess Wenwan, and it was hard to say anything else: "Speaking of which, Lord Ping is in the favor of Princess Wenwan. He is a second-grade official at a young age. Fengjiang Senior officials, how many people will never reach such a high level in their lifetime? They are only thirty years old and will definitely become prime minister in the future."
Meier sighed slightly: "You have known Wenwan for so many years. When have you ever seen her act in a flamboyant manner? I can be sure that this matter is definitely not Wenwan's intention. It should be Ping Shangtang's own position. "
Ping'er was stunned: "You can't, right? The princess didn't agree, so they sought it themselves? Why?" Why did they seek it themselves? What if the princess doesn't care about him? Otherwise why seek it yourself!
Speaking of this, Meier didn¡¯t know what to say. She really didn't understand what Ping Shangtang and Su Zhenzhen were thinking. I thought my wings were hardened and I no longer needed gentle help. So I spontaneously distanced myself from contact with gentle people. If Wen Wan often gives them orders to do this and that, it would be fine if they are so repressed that they want to get out of control. But as far as Mei'er knew, Wen Wan had never asked Ping Shangtang to do anything. As for reprimanding, there is no such thing. With his gentle temperament, it is impossible to say harsh words to others. Such a good supporter turned away from him. People always lean against big trees to enjoy the shade, so why should they stay apart? No one else can hold it! Meier really couldn't understand it.
Ping'er felt a little sad when she saw Mei'er: "Madam, the princess is pregnant, and her appearance makes people worried. I have never seen a pregnant lady look like this." Seeing that, she was worried Terrified. They said the twins were difficult to deliver, so she was really worried. But considering that Princess Wenwan is blessed with great blessings, try to relax yourself.
Mei'er was also a little worried, but she said: "How many pregnant women have you seen, and have you seen anyone pregnant with twins? I heard that people who are pregnant with twins will suffer, but I didn't expect that they would suffer so much." Watching Wen Wan move would make her worried for a long time. Seeing everything like this, I don¡¯t need to talk about the sins I suffered.
Meier sighed after a while: "Speaking of which, when Wen Wan was unwilling to marry Bai Shinian, I said she didn't know how lucky she was. But now it seems that after suffering such a big sin, General Bai is not around. . There is no one to complain about. Wen Wan still doesn¡¯t know how sad she is! ¡°Nothing in the world is perfect.¡± This is the helplessness of being a woman. If a man wants to make great achievements, a woman has to silently sacrifice everything and endure everything behind the scenes. Even gentleness is the same. You know, now, Meier is really not sure whether she would have persuaded Wenwan at the beginning! (To be continued)
