Chapter 342 Tongyanwuji
When they arrived at the door, Xiaolu went in to pass the message. Soon, four people came in together. Wangshu was lying on a thick silk quilt, covered with a duck down duvet, and his expression was indifferent when he saw people.
Ji Shou went forward to greet her. Seeing that she was as clean and tidy as ever, he felt relieved. "Miss, I have acquired some rare items these days. They look quite fine. I will bring them in for you to see after the concierge has checked them."
He was burdened with heavy responsibilities and just wanted to unload them. Now he had no interest in anything new. Wangshu said nothing.
Ji Shou was least afraid of a dull silence. He picked out the business's affairs one by one and opened the account book for the person, pointing to the data on it and analyzing it in detail. He was like a passionate teacher who was still full of enthusiasm and continued to give advice to drowsy students.
The gifts delivered included a dazzling mother-of-pearl dressing box. Upon opening it, I saw a luxurious gold necklace inlaid with pearls and gemstones, and a pair of large, round East China Sea pearl earrings...
Amid the croaking of frogs from the brother and sister, Ji Shou approached Wangshu holding the dressing box and said, "Miss, look." At the same time, he winked at his son-in-law. The man sat down on the edge of the bed, took out a gold necklace and handed it to the woman to admire closely. The gold, pearls, rubies and green gems were combined into one by an ingenious craftsmanship. Mingxi lay on her father's lap and almost embedded her eyes in it.
Ji Shou took out a small piece of silk cloth and held a pair of Dongzhu earrings. "Miss, this pair is made of century-old Dongzhu pearls... Several old men in the industry said... They are even bigger than the ones on the empress's crown... This mother-of-pearl dressing box is also rare..."
Wangshu had only seen these rare treasures at auctions in later generations. The ornate clothes and precious treasures moved him so much that he caressed them and asked, "Where did you get them from? How much did you pay?"
"They all come from the homes of several nobles from the previous dynasty." Some were gifts, perhaps to smooth relations. "The treasure appraiser said they were worth a fortune and gave an estimate."
Qin Xiuyuan lowered his eyes and glanced at the open account book. He felt his gums go cold and couldn't touch any of it.
After washing up at night, Xiaoqing put on a gold necklace inlaid with pearls and gemstones and earrings made of oriental pearls for someone to wear. No wonder the ancient saying goes that one should respect the clothes first and then the person. Even for her now as the Marshal of Tianpeng, wearing jewelry also has a kind of beauty that makes her humble home shine.
"Madam, it looks so beautiful and luxurious when worn! Xiaoqing doesn't even dare to look at it directly."
Wangshu couldn't stand for long, so he supported himself with his hands and sat down on the soft couch. He laughed at himself in a rare good mood, "Come on, what's the difference between me and a pregnant sow who can stand up?"
Xiaoqing was stunned, trying to process the meaning of this sentence. Shocked, she was speechless for a moment. Qin Xiuyuan, who had brought food in, gently scolded her, "Shushu, you're talking nonsense."
It just so happened that tonight they were wearing pajamas, just a shirt and pants. Upon hearing this, Wangshu said nothing, folded his two braids and tied them up high, helped the person to stand up, lifted the hem of his clothes to reveal his protruding belly, then pressed his nose upwards with his index finger, with his nostrils pointing directly at the person.
Now her face is also swollen. Looking closely, the two big black braids are swinging like big pig ears, the big face is chubby, and the nose is most similar to a pig, with two black nostrils and a raised mouth. She makes an unknown "humming" sound while eating. The two lumps of soft flesh on her body are shaking, and she has a huge pregnant belly. The more you look at it, the more you can't think about it. Qin Xiuyuan saw her acting weird and burst into laughter. It really looks like a pig!
A pink and tender pregnant sow, pouting for food and drink. "Hahaha!" He leaned on the person, and was right. It really looked like one. He had to admit defeat, "Okay, haha..."
What a life-threatening little woman, how could she be so adorable! He wiped the tears of laughter from his eyes, waved his hand to let the maid, who was unable to straighten her waist, help him out through the door, "Shushu, you are really...haha!" He lowered his head and kissed the person's piggy nose again and again, singing and composing beautifully, which was really rare!
"Thinking about these things every day, huh?" Qin Xiuyuan held the man in his left hand and fed him half a bowl of beef noodle soup. The man opened his mouth obediently and ate the meat cleanly. There was a lot of noodles left, so he turned sideways and drank it all in a few gulps.
"The Loose Belly Support Band is a bit tight." Wangshu frowned, feeling uncomfortable after eating too much. Qin Xiuyuan loosened the buttons at the back of her waist a few more times, leaving her belly hanging down. It was a terrifying sight. Stretch marks were deep and cracked on her belly, and her belly was shiny and oily. Sometimes, when the little bastard kicked someone, his feet were clearly visible...
Before she got pregnant, she was hoping to have another son. But when she got pregnant, she saw how much trouble she was going through and everyone was worried about her. She couldn't help but regret it. Having Yunxiao and Mingxi was enough for her.
Wangshu lay on his side, exhausted, looking as if he had lost all desire to live.
After dinner, the brother and sister lay on both sides of the rocking chair and touched their mother here and there, putting their hands on her raised belly, and naturally asked a hundred thousand questions in their mouths.
"Mom, are there really little brothers and sisters here?"
"Well, I don't know if it's a boy or a girl yet."
"Then how did they get in?" Yun Xiao picked at his mother's protruding belly button to see what was going on, while Mingxi imitated his father by rubbing someone's belly.
Ji's mother and Xiaoqing looked away as Wangshu spoke calmly. He didn't say it was fished out of the river or scolded her for being too talkative. Instead, he said directly, "Your father put it in mother's belly and raised it slowly."
"Then how did it come out?" Yun Xiao continued to be curious about the baby.
"You're big enough now, mother, please give birth to the little one with all your strength."
"Okay, then can Dabao go in and play with the little one?"
"No. I'll play with you when you're older."
One asked innocently, the other answered sincerely. Ji's mother's face flushed red. She wanted to stop her, but her daughter would answer every question. If she didn't stop her, one would dare to ask and the other would dare to answer, which was so embarrassing.
"Okay, then did Dad put Aunt Chunyang's in there too?"
"Cough cough!" Ji's mother Xiaoqing held her head and coughed half to death. She would not stop until her words shocked the world. Wangshu was momentarily stunned by her childish words. Yunxiao was frightened by her grandmother's reaction and was confused for a moment, "Grandma, what's wrong with you?"
"Yun Xiao, stop talking nonsense." Ji's mother couldn't help but scold.
Yun Xiao shrank his neck, his eyes still wide open in confusion.
"Aunt Chunyang's baby's father is Grandpa Tang. Babies all have their own parents. The father is responsible for planting the baby's tiny seed, and the mother is responsible for using her belly to give the baby flesh and blood, giving birth to it and slowly raising it. The same goes for you and your sister. This is based on facts and cannot be arranged by words, understand?"
Listening to the little seed, Yun Xiao, who was touching his belly button, suddenly understood. Mingxi nodded and said, "Oh!"
I don’t know how the son-in-law who just came in felt when he heard this. Ji’s mother, with fifty years of cultivation, could not withstand such straightforward and shameful "unbridled" behavior, so she quietly took the embroidery frame and ran away.
Qin Xiuyuan: ...his mother-in-law could run away, but he couldn't. This house was filled with the woman he had married and the "little seeds he had planted there." He couldn't refute her. He had to educate his children with sincerity and honesty. The woman's words were spot-on and very insightful.
The seeds he had planted were indeed tiny, tiny... He suddenly felt a sense of inferiority, feeling that they looked good but were useless. The more they looked good, the more useless they seemed. For a moment, he was extremely conflicted and divided...
