Wanjin Lady

Chapter 194 Twins

This senior brother whom I had never met was quite generous. He did not put half of his thoughts into the selection of things, but won by quantity, which was really an unfair victory.

Ah, I shouldn’t have given you the calligraphy copybook, I should have given you the fox lantern.

At least when the junior sister goes out at night, holding the lamp to light the way, she can think of her senior brother.

"I'm touched. So touched. Senior Brother is a sincere person." Wen Wan wiped away her tears and turned to ask Madam Yao, "Mother, I sold all these things... Senior Brother Jinyu won't find out, right?"

Madam Yao: ...

Mr. Yao: ...

Cheng Yunzhang narrowed his eyes and smiled, "Senior Brother Jinyu has the support of Duke Wei's Mansion and the Empress Dowager. He has a large family and a great fortune, so he will definitely not bother with you."

"Then what are you doing standing there, brother?" Wen Wan frowned and glared at Cheng Yunzhang in dissatisfaction. "Brother Xiuwen, quickly help me move it to the carriage. You've seen a lot of good things. Accompany me to the pawnshop later! Don't let others take advantage of me!"

This... going to the pawn shop now?
Okay, that’s not impossible.

Cheng Yunzhang was interested in watching the fun and touched his nose seriously. Then he gritted his teeth and followed Wen Wan under the shocked gazes of his teacher and his mistress.

The things are given to my junior sister, she has the right to dispose of them, and she can leave whenever she wants.

This logic... is correct.

An hour later, both of them stood in front of the pawnshop.

Under the serious gaze of the two men, Hongmei counted the silver bills again and finally stuffed them heavily into her purse.

She held her purse tightly, as if afraid that no one would know that she was carrying a large sum of money.

Hongmei said excitedly, "Miss, a total of five hundred and sixty taels!"

Hongmei helped Wen Wan deal with the accounts, so she naturally knew that these five hundred and sixty taels were like a blessing after a long drought for the Wen family!
With this money, the Wen family will have no worries for the whole year!

I want to buy yeast, buy food, and recruit workers. What can't I do?
Cheng Yunzhang was a little dazed. Why did he follow the fox junior sister in a daze and sell all the things given by the senior brother?

That person is the Marquis of Huai'an!
Cheng Yunzhang sighed, "How rude. How rude. I actually betrayed my senior brother whom I had never met—"

Wen Wan glanced at him and asked, "Would you like some sweet-scented osmanthus wine?"

"eat!"

"Then...if you meet Senior Brother Jinyu, don't mention this matter!"

Cheng Yunzhang sneered, "I'll try my best."

After a while, several people sat down at a small stall next to the overpass. The owner was a couple, and the proprietress immediately recognized Wen Wan, "Miss Wen!"

Wen Wan only realized it belatedly.

In the past, Zhao Heng often waited for her to come home here. The two of them would secretly go out for a game here without Chen Ma's knowledge. They would have a bowl of rice dumplings with fermented glutinous rice wine and a sip of osmanthus fermented glutinous rice wine, leaving their mouths full of fragrance. Then the couple would go home hand in hand.

In a trance.

Zhao Heng has been gone for a long time.

From thinking about him every day and every night at the beginning, it became thinking about him only once in a while.

Until now, I don’t think about him much.

You see, even without Zhao Heng, Wen Wan is still living a good life.

She doesn't want to be slapped in the face by love again.

The proprietress placed a bowl of brown sugar osmanthus glutinous rice balls on the table in front of her, then glanced at her slightly protruding belly, her expression filled with sorrow. "Miss Wen, please accept my condolences."

Miss Wen’s husband is such a good man.

Every day he waits under the crooked tree like a wife-waiting rock.

Once, she saw that Miss Wen's husband had waited until the moon rose above the branches but still hadn't shown up, so she invited him to sit in the store and wait. The husband refused, saying that he was afraid that Miss Wen wouldn't be able to see him when she came.

I never thought that such a good person... would die in such a confusing way.

Cheng Yunzhang noticed that the man next to him was a little depressed, so he turned around and asked Hongmei with a smile: "Hey, how much silver did you say you pawned today?"

Sure enough, the young lady suddenly became excited, and her delicate eyebrows wrinkled wildly, like a wrinkled old woman. "Five hundred and sixty taels! Brother, you are a scholar, and you can't even remember this. How can you take the exam?"

"Five hundred and sixty taels... that's enough for the winery to buy koji and hire employees this year, right?"

Wen Wan suddenly became alert. Could this old guy be here to sniff out business secrets?

She began to weigh her words carefully. "I don't have much money, and I'm in debt."

Cheng Yunzhang smiled and said nothing.

Junior sister is really a fox.

The teacher is an old fox, the junior sister is a young fox, and Cheng Yunzhang has fallen into the fox's den.

Since she became pregnant, Wen Wan always felt chest tightness, shortness of breath, and discomfort all over.

Just now, Hongmei asked Doctor Yan to take her pulse, but Wenwan woke up before he arrived.

The moment he spoke, Wen Weiming, Liu Yiyi and others came in.

Since Liu Yiyi became Old Man Wen's official wife, she has spoken with more confidence.

Mother Chen asked her: What do you want to eat today?
Liu Yiyi replied: Aunt Chen, how do you know that I am now the eldest lady of the Wen family?

Hongmei asked her: "Madam, there are several hundred taels of silver added to our account book, all given by your eldest brother! Do you know that eldest brother is the Marquis of Huai'an! The tyrant of Tianshui Prefecture!"
Liu Yiyi replied: Yes, yes, yes, the master is the father of Tianshui Mansion, and I am the mother of Tianshui Mansion. The master and I are a match made in heaven!
Hongmei lifted the warm curtain, stepped in quickly, and helped Wenwan up.

Since the beginning of spring, the temperature has risen, and Wen Wan's belly has become bigger and bigger. She either has no appetite or vomits after eating, which makes Chen Ma very anxious. Chen Ma uses all her life's skills, and even the spatula makes sparks fly, cooking for Wen Wan in various ways, so that this ancestor can eat a few more bites.

So, in the end, Doctor Yan was called over.

As soon as Doctor Yan entered, he was surrounded by everyone. Under the wide-eyed gazes of the parents, Doctor Yan put the pulse pillow into the medicine box and smiled slowly. "My eldest daughter is having twins, so the pregnancy reactions will be more severe than other women. I'll prescribe some herbal remedies to calm the nerves and strengthen the stomach. Take one dose three times a day first and see how it goes."

Twins?
Wen Wan was stunned, her hand gently placed on her abdomen, but she couldn't believe it.

She looked up and asked Father Wen, who was grinning from ear to ear, "Dad, has anyone in our family ever had twins?"

Father Wen shook his head. "There hasn't been one in at least three generations. Why are you asking this?"

Twins have a high probability of being inherited in the family. Since there is no twins in the Wen family, could it be on Zhao Heng's side?

Unfortunately, there is no answer to this question.

Father Wen was very happy. He was bullied by his clan members because he had few children. If Wen Wan's two children were born safely, then his Wen family would have two more members at once!
Not to mention, Zhao Heng has been killed, leaving only his son. It is hard to say whether Wen Wan will get married or find a son-in-law in the future. At least she has two children to stabilize the situation now!
If two boys...

Wen Weiming didn't even dare to think about it, and secretly decided to go to the ancestral grave to pay homage recently, asking the ancestors to work together to bless the eldest grandson and the youngest grandson to be born safely.

Wen Weiming asked tentatively, "Doctor Yan, can you tell whether my daughter is carrying a boy or a girl?"
