Chapter 208 The Cannon Fodder Wife in the Ancient Time Traveling Novel 15
But once people hold back for too long and think too much, some problems will arise, such as tending to think in an extreme direction. The old lady of the Marquis is like this. The more she thinks, the more uncomfortable she becomes. Everyone is congratulating her on the birth of her grandson, but who remembers her son who died tragically less than a year ago? It seems that except for herself, the entire Marquis's mansion is in a festive mood, right? They have forgotten that the Marquis's mansion is in mourning!
Including her blessed daughter-in-law, who must have almost forgotten what her son looks like! I'm afraid she even thinks she is the greatest contributor to the Marquis's mansion!
But the words that the Marquis' wife was blessed came from the emperor's mouth. Haha, her grandson was born on the day the good news came back, so her daughter-in-law was a blessed person.
Then what is she? That's right! How could she be so blessed? Her family was not strong enough, and she married into a marquisate, and her parents-in-law, husband, and son were all gone. She had to help her blessed daughter-in-law hold a full-month banquet for her grandson during her son's mourning period with her sick body. It was ironic to think about it.
Both were daughters-in-law of the Marquis's mansion, but her daughter-in-law's husband died a few months after she got married and she was still called a blessed person. But she..., there is no harm without comparison, and the thought of their different situations made her jealous and want to go crazy.
Haha, just wait and see. She couldn't refute the emperor's words. Her grandson was her son's blood, and she would take good care of him. But her daughter-in-law still had a long time to live. She wanted to see how lucky her daughter-in-law was.
Xia Xiaoxiao didn't know about the change in Madam Leng's mentality. She was still eating and drinking to her heart's content and recuperating after giving birth.
The entire mansion was busy, and soon it was the day of the full moon banquet. The mansion was no longer dull as usual, and the maids and servants were busy all day long. There were lights and decorations everywhere, and the guests were all present, making it very lively.
The three babies were also well taken care of by Xia Xiaoxiao. The red wrinkles had long faded away and they became white and tender! When Old Lady Leng came out with her maids and old women holding the three babies, the atmosphere in the mansion reached its peak.
Everyone was praising the three kids for being well-raised and good-looking, praising them to the heavens and the earth. There were also some very sour people praising them for being talented in both literature and martial arts, handsome, and elegant like their father in the future. These words were somewhat malicious and sarcastic, but you couldn't refute them or get angry and say that they were wrong.
But most people were pretty nice. Who would say something unpleasant on someone's big day? The three kids were also dressed like red envelopes, and walked around among the male and female guests, returning with the guests' blessings, envy, jealousy, and a bunch of gifts.
Xia Xiaoxiao, on the other hand, put on makeup to look like a sick beauty with a pale, bloodless face, as if she had lost all her vitality. She was lying on the bed waiting to entertain her relatives and friends who were visiting her!
The protagonists today are not only the three children, but also this Marquis' wife! His Majesty has said that she is a blessed woman. Since we are here, the male guests can forget about it, but the female guests must see her to get some blessings before they go back, right?
So Xia Xiaoxiao, despite her sick face, still entertained several waves of guests who could not be refused. She was very tired after a day, and her face was almost stiff from smiling, but fortunately, the harvest was still good.
The gifts for the kids filled up a small storeroom. These were all for the kids, and Xia Xiaoxiao specially sorted them out into three small storerooms for them to keep separately, as a gift for them to marry in the future.
After the full moon banquet, Xia Xiaoxiao still rested her body. After all, the palace doctor said that she had to stay in confinement for three months. She had hurt her vitality, and she couldn't let her weak character fall.
After the full moon banquet, Madam Leng fell ill again, and this time she was seriously ill! However, she did not let the news out, as she did not want her grandson to bear the reputation of being unlucky for his father and grandmother.
After a brief bustle, the Marquis's Mansion returned to its previous calm period. One was in confinement after childbirth, and the other was sick and bedridden! Miss Leng was taking care of her mother and learning how to run the household from the old lady. Since the great change of her brother's death, she has become much more sensible.
In order to show her filial piety, Xia Xiaoxiao sent her personal maid to take care of her mother-in-law on her behalf! However, she was rejected by Old Lady Leng again, saying that she had three more children to take care of and needed more people, and she was not short of people to take care of them.
Xia Xiaoxiao didn't care about her anymore, she just asked the palace doctor to treat the old lady and sent some medicinal herbs and food from time to time. Anyway, she felt that since the death of the Marquis, this mansion has never lacked the smell of medicine.
As for the male and female protagonists, after a period of unrequited love, pursuit, and love, they finally got married in May. Their house was built, and a simple wedding ceremony was held under the witness of the village chief.
The bride and groom were a perfect match and received the blessings of the whole village. After being sent to the bridal chamber and removing the veil, Wen Qingyue saw the well-dressed male protagonist and her eyes lit up!
The man in front of her was as beautiful as jade and the young man was unparalleled in the world. This was the man in front of her! This handsome and noble young man would be hers from now on. Whenever she thought of this, she was overjoyed and excited.
She didn't expect that in this poor ancient times, she could also meet her love. Before, she just thought it was just like an actor acting in a TV series. But after the two of them continued to get along, they fell deeply in love with each other.
I just don't know if it's her illusion, but since they confirmed their relationship, she always feels that her husband's facial features are becoming more and more delicate and handsome. Of course, it could also be because people are in a good mood when they are happy!
It was nothing at first, but when she went to buy things for the wedding, she was spotted by the county magistrate's daughter who was drinking tea in the teahouse. Although the matter was resolved without any danger and the hero promised to treat her well in the future, it still made the heroine feel a strong sense of crisis.
In this world where men are superior to women, it is still legal to have three wives and four concubines. No matter how confident she is, she is only 60% beautiful. The biggest problem is that she does not have a good family background. Can the male protagonist really be loyal to her?
Now he has nothing but someone is thinking about him. Although he resisted the temptation and nothing happened, what about the future? There are many girls with good family background, good upbringing and good looks. Can he resist the temptation every time?
Will he dislike her for not looking as pretty as him? If he regains his memory in the future, and sees that her family background is not as good as his, she is not as pretty as him, and she is not as rich as him. She is not worthy of him in all aspects. What will he do then?
This sense of crisis made her gradually become unconfident and anxious about gains and losses.
Of course, the male protagonist discovered that there was something wrong with his fiancée. After the two of them had an in-depth conversation and resolved the issue, he directly proposed to the female protagonist to move up the wedding to comfort her!
Wen Qingyue finally let go of all her worries. As long as this man liked her and they loved each other, no matter what happened, she would accompany him to face all the ups and downs in the future.
Now they were finally married, and this person was completely his. She felt like she was dreaming, and everything was so unbelievable. You know, in ancient times, it was very difficult for married couples to divorce in the future. He had proved his love for her with his actions, so why should she hesitate?
After they got married, they lived a sweet and happy life without being disturbed by anyone...!
Soon after two months, the three children were born on their 100th day and had their own names! Old Madam Leng had someone calculate their birth time, and they found that they lacked the character for wood. So the three children's names all had the character for wood, namely Leng Yunsong, Leng Yunshan, and Leng Yunyang! It was said that someone had calculated their names specifically, and Xia Xiaoxiao had no objection.
She spends the whole day in her yard teasing the babies, and now the babies are gradually becoming cute! When she teases them, they will respond with babbling, talking and laughing.
Although the three little ones look very similar, Xia Xiaoxiao can still clearly tell who is the eldest, the second, and the third. Every day, she plays with them until they are tired and then puts them back to sleep.
After three months, Xia Xiaoxiao also announced that she was officially out of confinement! After the confinement, it means that she has to go to pay respects. When she stepped out of the gate of the courtyard, it felt like a lifetime ago. Everything seemed a little strange.
She didn't mind the heat and took the maids to stroll around the mansion with great interest. It took a long time before they arrived at the old lady's yard.
"The daughter-in-law pays her respects to her mother!" She knelt down and saluted the old lady.
"Stand up and sit down!" Old Madam Leng's voice sounded old and tired.
"Thank you, mother!" Xia Xiaoxiao looked up at Old Madam Leng only after she sat down.
But she almost couldn't recognize her after just half a year. How could her mother-in-law become like this? Her hair was gray, she looked very old, her waist was bent, she had more wrinkles, and she was much thinner. I don't know if it was Xia Xiaoxiao's illusion, maybe because her mother-in-law was too thin, there was a hint of meanness on her face.
Half a year ago, she was still a lady in her prime, but now she is really an old lady. If she remembered correctly, her mother-in-law was only 40 years old, but now she looks almost 50. It seems that her son's matter has hit her too hard.
"You are finally out of confinement. How is your health? Are the children okay?" Old Madam Leng asked her when she saw her looking at her!
"Thank you for your care, mother-in-law. After more than three months of nursing, I have finally regained some energy. But I am still not as relaxed as before. Even in this hot summer, I don't feel hot anymore.
As for the children, they are all fine. Now that I am a mother, I have completely understood the meaning of "only when you have children do you know the kindness of your parents." I guess mother must have had a hard time these years! It's also because of my daughter-in-law's poor health. Thank you for your hard work, mother." Xia Xiaoxiao was really grateful to the old lady. After all, she didn't interfere in organizing the full moon banquet, which was very hard.
"Mother, how is your illness? You seem to have lost a lot of weight. What did the court doctor say? Do you need any medicine? I am ashamed that I was unable to take care of you when you were sick!" Xia Xiaoxiao said with her head down. They didn't have a falling out, so they still had to maintain the proper etiquette and face.
