Tang Ju's fall from power is common for those playboys and has not attracted much attention. Xu Lan's incident made the women of the house talk about it privately, but as Mrs. Hui'an stayed away and the August provincial examination approached, it was gradually forgotten.

Most of the young masters and sons of officials take the imperial examinations, and the provincial examinations once every three years are still very important.

Zhao Qing also wants to participate in this provincial examination. Now, except for walking around the yard in the morning and evening, he basically locks himself in the study and does not go out.

Zhao Chen and Zhao Qing have a good relationship. As the eldest sister-in-law, Aji would occasionally ask the kitchen to make some soup to send to it to show her concern, but she actually thought about her father who was far away in Dengzhou. Zhao Chen introduced a famous teacher to her father, but her father was in his thirties after all, and the main content of the college entrance examination in the school was the content of the college entrance examination, which was not beneficial to the local examination. In just less than a year, she was worried that her father would fail.

Aji knew very well that his father took the exam again to support her. After he passed the imperial examination, he had reason to come to Beijing to prepare for the exam. Once he failed the exam, with his father's temper, he would never come to Beijing and would not tell others what the Lin family had to do with the power of the Zhao family.

She was like a candidate, worried about something going on in the exam before the exam, and after the exam, she began to worry about failing the exam.

From preparing for the exam at the beginning of the month to posting the exam at the end of the month, Aji's cheeks had obviously lost weight. She knew that she should relax and knew that this would be bad for her health, but she really couldn't help it. She didn't dare to express anything during the day. She could hear Ning's enlightenment, but she tossed and turned at night and couldn't sleep well.

Zhao Qing passed the exam, but only lost the final exam. Zhao Yunting told him not to take the exam next year and then take the exam three years later. Aji was even more uneasy when she learned about it. Zhao Qing was concentrating on studying for so many years and almost failed the exam. What was his father?

"Aji, don't think about it. My father-in-law will send us a message immediately after he announced the list. You will know in half a month at the latest. Can you let go?" In the dark night, Zhao Chen hugged her with his wife's back, feeling very distressed. Aji has lost weight, and he can't afford any big or small accident. When she first had insomnia, she was afraid that she would make him move out to sleep, leaving her alone tossing and turning. Wouldn't that kill him?

He kissed her gently, kissed her body to relax, and then spoke to her softly, while he gently helped her to smooth her hair, and went down from her brain. After so long, he knew that she had many of her habits, and knew that she was the most sensitive near her spine. She also knew that she would be very comfortable and comfortable to sleep when she helped her hair smoothly.

She fell asleep, and Zhao Chen did not stop. She continued to go on for a long time and was sure that she would not wake up again. Then Zhao Chen covered her quilt and fell asleep lightly.

Fortunately, the letter from the Lin family arrived soon.

Lin Xian won the exam, said goodbye to the village and set off for Beijing immediately. He arrived around the beginning of October. When Aji and his friends received the letter, the four members of the Lin family should have been on the way.

After reading the letter, Aju smiled happily.

His wife once again showed that kind of sincere gentle smile. For Zhao Chen, the haze that had been shrouded in his heart for a month had dissipated. That night, he hugged Aji and complained for half an hour, blaming her for only her parents forgot about him and the children, and blaming her for making him fuck him. Aji knew she was ashamed. Not only did she take the initiative to kiss the resentful man, but she also hinted that she could do a long-lost couple with him.

Zhao Chen really wanted it, but he didn't dare to ask for it. His wife would be born soon. He would rather bear it than have an accident at this critical moment. The most urgent thing is to raise his wife's body back.

He is broad-minded and fat. After October, Aji's face can finally be seen again.

At dusk that day, the couple talked while walking slowly in the yard.

Zhao Chen had already bought a house for his father-in-law's family. When he bought it, Zhao Chen wanted to choose a house, but Aji didn't let him go. Aji knew what the conditions were at home. Aji knew that the deposited money could not afford a house in the capital. Instead of asking his uncle's house to help, it would be better for her daughter to pay, but she could not buy a house that was too big. Such a father would definitely not want it. So Aji personally chose a two-entry yard, with few people in the family and more than enough to live in. In addition, the location of the house is quiet and suitable for his father to study and prepare for the exam. I believe his father would be satisfied. After choosing it, Aji immediately sent a letter to the family so that his uncle and aunt would not give him any money.

The servants must also prepare. Zhao Chen is responsible for the following to be selected by his father and younger brother in the front yard, while Aji and Ning will pick up the maid and cook in the back yard. After the rules are taught, they will arrange to enter the house first, just wait for their family to come to Beijing.

"I saw it on the Dragon Boat Festival of Xiaojiu. I have grown a lot taller. I wonder if Azhu has grown up. It's not long before the New Year is coming. She will be fourteen years old next year. My mother is also worried about her marriage." Aji looked at the sky in the distance and said.

"Mother-in-law is not worried yet, you are worried first." Zhao Chen smiled and helped her walk back, looking at her belly and said, "When we are born, I want to see how you care about it. Xiaojiu said you are the most nagging. It seems that you will most likely not be liked by our children."

Aji glared at her husband and raised her hand to touch her stomach. How could her child not like her?

~

The Lin family chose the day for a coincidence. The day when they arrived in Beijing happened to be on the 10th day of the lunar calendar.

Zhao Chen asked Aji to wait at home and he went to pick someone up in person.

So the passenger ship approached the dock. When Lin Xian's family of four came out of the tent and waited to get ashore, Lin Chongjiu's eyes were pointed and the first person to see the man in gorgeous clothes standing next to the dock. He shouted happily: "Mom, look, brother-in-law is there, brother-in-law!"

Zhao Chen heard a familiar voice, followed the sound and waved his hand.

Lin Xian nodded slightly. When Liu saw his son-in-law who had been away for a year, he seemed to see his eldest daughter, and his eyes were slightly wet. Thirteen-year-old Lin Zhu wore a white gauze hat and glanced at the dock curiously, but his bare hands were pressed firmly on his younger brother's shoulders, for fear that he would jump into the water.

"Father-in-law, mother-in-law, you are finally here. Aji has been thinking about you. If you don't come again, I'm afraid her child will be uneasy." After the salute, Zhao Chen said with a smile.

Liu immediately asked, "Did Aji give birth?" Although the doctor said that the eldest daughter was about the end of the month, how could she be so accurate in giving birth to a child? She gave birth to three, and both of them were initiated in advance.

After hearing the mother-in-law misunderstood, Zhao Chen quickly explained: "I haven't given birth yet, but the midwife is ready. Maybe it's been the case these days. My mother-in-law is here just in time. With you by Aji's side, I and she are much more at ease."

Liu thought so in his heart, but he complained to his elder daughter and said, "Aji is so ignorant. At this time, he should focus on his children and think about what we do. Has it caused you a lot of trouble?"

Zhao Chen smiled calmly and said, "My mother-in-law is too worried. Aji's business is mine, so why do you have trouble?"

Liu loves to hear these words and can't help laughing.

Just as he walked to the carriage, Zhao Chen personally opened the curtain and invited the Liu family and his daughter to get on the car. When they got firmly, he would go ahead to accompany Lin Xian and his son.

The carriage started moving, Lin Zhu took off the cover and said to his mother with a smile: "I see that my brother-in-law has not changed much from before, can I rest assured now?"

Mrs. Liu held the second daughter's little hand and patted her, as if she was talking to herself: "Don't worry, I won't worry about your brother-in-law's family background in this life."

Lin Zhu heard it, but didn't know how to untie it. She hugged her mother for a while and then walked up to the window to look outside through the crack of the curtain. Seeing that her daughter was honestly not opening the curtain and showing her face, she didn't care too much. After the eldest daughter got married, the second daughter became more and less sensible.

The carriage went to the Lin family's courtyard first.

Lin Xian was unwilling to take advantage of his son-in-law, but he was not a pedantic and ignorant person. Seeing that the house was indeed as stated in the letter, he happily accepted the kindness of his daughter and son-in-law. The luggage was handed over to the servants to take care of. The four of them changed their clothes and rested for a short time, and immediately got on the bus to the Yanping Marquis' Mansion. Logically speaking, Aji should come here to see them, and Aji really wanted to come, but Zhao Chen refused to agree. Lin Xian and his wife were only more worried than him. They were all a family, and their daughter had a big belly, so why bother with a vain?

Aji was sitting in Rongshou Hall at this moment, and the grandmother Zhao Yunting was there.

She held the veil in her hand and glanced out from time to time.

When the lady saw her, she curled her lips disgusted. If she could, she really didn't want to recognize such a relative. A teacher in a town would not be worthy of their marquis's mansion even if she was a juren. She looked at her son, but she had unexpectedly met her son's disapproval. The lady was too lazy to make trouble with her son because of such a trivial matter. When she looked at the eldest grandson's wife's big belly, she felt a little more at ease and showed a kind smile.

Not long after, Zhao Chen led his father-in-law and his family in.

As early as the sound of footsteps in the yard, Aji's eyes turned red. When she saw the familiar figure, she quickly wiped her tears with a veil, helped her up, and called her parents in a trembling voice.

Lin Xian and his wife are adults. No matter how excited they are, they are not as ruthless as their daughter. They nodded and went to see the wife Zhao Yunting first. Lin Chongjiu had already met his elder sister once this year, and this time he did not cry, but stared at the elder sister's belly strangely. Lin Zhu blinked at the elder sister playfully, and then led his younger brother to follow his parents.

Aji's tears came and went quickly, especially after receiving her sister's familiar playful eyes, her uneasy heart finally fell down. Her family has come, and it has not changed much from before. How great it is to see them all the time later.

She smiled at the backs of her parents and sisters, and there was no one else in her eyes, and she didn't want to see what the grandma's expression was.

After the greetings, the lady did not delay for too long and said to Aji kindly: "Your family has been together for a long time. Please invite them to Wangzhuxuan to sit down. The family will talk to you. Let's have a meal together to be lively in the evening."

Aji smiled and thanked him, and invited his relatives to visit Zhuxuan with Zhao Chen.

On the way, Zhao Chen and Lin Xian walked side by side in front, and Aji held his mother in the left hand and his sister in the right hand. When he heard that his younger brother wanted to hold her with his younger sister, he was familiar and noisy, he felt extremely satisfied.

When he arrived at Wangzhuxuan, Liu didn't care whether her husband had seen enough of his eldest daughter. He went to the inner room with Aji to talk, so Lin Zhu naturally followed.

"How is it? Is the child good? Have you ever messed with you?" Liu carefully helped Aji sit on the kang, and then stared at the eldest daughter up and down with eyes fixed. Seeing that her cheeks were even more delicate and tender than when she was at home, she looked very good. I didn't ask about Aji's life here for the time being, so I first took care of her eldest daughter's body.

In fact, it was mentioned in the letter, but when the mother arrived, Aji was happy and said it again. She was pregnant quite smoothly and had no morning sickness, so she got better soon. Later, even in August, she was worried, and the child did not make trouble for her, as if she knew that her mother had something to do, and she was so obedient that she did not worry her anymore.

Liu smiled with relief, touched Aji's belly gently, and said softly: "My grandson will definitely be particularly filial when he grows up."

Lin Zhu sat quietly beside him, knowing that the elder sister had a lot to say to her mother, and most of them she didn't understand, so she didn't interrupt. She just carefully pressed on the elder sister's belly while they were talking to her and listened to the movement inside. That was her little nephew, and she would soon become an aunt.

Aji touched her sister's head and looked at her mother again, tears fell down again, saying to her mother the words she had been afraid of, "Mom, I'm afraid, what if my daughter is in her life, will she be born..."

Zhao Chen told her more than once that she didn't care if she was a daughter or a son, but Aji cared about it. Which new wife didn't want to kill her? She thought that she wanted to give birth to a son, but she didn't want to be ridiculed and couldn't give birth to a son. Also, she was afraid that something would happen to her. From childhood to adulthood, she had heard of several cases where her daughter-in-law could not survive the difficult childbirth, and she was afraid...

"Sister, don't talk nonsense, you won't have any trouble..." Lin Zhu didn't cry when she saw someone, and her eyes suddenly became wet when she heard this.

"Stop crying, what's there to cry? One is stupid and two are stupid!" Both sisters were tearful, and Liu patted their heads one by one.

Lin Zhu refused to let go, sat up straight, rubbed her head and complained: "Mom, you are biased, you are biased, there was no sound when you hit my elder sister, but when you hit me, your brother-in-law could hear it outside!"

Aji burst into tears and laughed.

Liu saw that he liked her and used a veil to wipe her tears while whispering: "Don't worry, you are in love, and the midwife and doctor at home have prepared it early, so there will be no problem. Aji, do you still remember that when my mother gave birth to your younger brother, it was more than half a month in advance. Your father was not at home, and it was the one you hurried to call me. When I came back, my mother had given birth, so why wouldn't she be fine? Besides, men and women, it's best to have a son. Do you don't like having a daughter? According to your thoughts, you should have thrown you away when you gave birth to your sister, right?"

Aji lowered her head, "I understand what my mother said, that's..."

"Afraid of gossiping outsiders?"

Liu continued, "Actually, when my mother gave birth to you, she was really unwilling to accept it for two years. When she went out to have a cool night, there were fat boys running around her daughter-in-laws, but you were the only girl, and she was often looked down upon. When she got home, my mother wanted to vent her anger with you, but you were so obsessed with her. But you were so obsessed with her. When she saw it, she couldn't help laughing. How could she say something harsh? At that time, my mother figured it out. As long as your father didn't dislike me, I would live happily, regardless of what others said? Now look, my Aji married to the Hou Mansion to live a good life. Those who gave birth to sons in the village were busy fighting with her daughter-in-law at this moment. Knowing that I was coming to the capital, they were all jealous..."

With familiar gentle words and familiar faces, Aji looked at her mother and listened to her nagging and talking slowly, she slowly calmed down and her eyes fell on her stomach.

Yes, what is the difference between son and daughter? The child is already grown up and is about to come out. All she can do is take good care of it and be a good mother.

On the afternoon of October 26th, when Aji got up, he suddenly felt something was wrong below, so he hurriedly called Madam Jiang.

Soon Aji entered the delivery room.

After Zhao Chen got the letter, he hurried back from the palace. Liu came in a hurry and sat next to her daughter to encourage her. Aji has always been an obedient and sensible girl, and she gritted her teeth and endured it no matter how painful it hurts. She did whatever the midwife told her to do. Finally, at sunrise the next day, she successfully gave birth to a daughter.

She was so tired that she had no thoughts on anything. She saw her daughter with her own eyes and fell asleep, with a satisfied smile on her lips.hf();
