Chapter 175

"Yes, mother." Ling Yuxuan said, "Whatever mother needs, my child will buy some for you."

The prime minister's wife smiled and said: "Yuxuan, you know how to be filial more and more. My mother is old, and she doesn't need to dress up a long time ago. You can buy a few more for your wife. Wenqing shines in front of other wives, you This husband-in-law also has a bright face." The wife's clothes reflect the husband's financial ability.

"Boy, thank you for your mother's teaching." Ling Yuxuan clasped his hands and said, "It's getting late, baby, I'll take Wen Qing out to go shopping."

The prime minister's wife nodded, and said kindly, "Go, go early and return early." Alas, the last thing she wanted was for this daughter-in-law to have too frequent contacts with older women.

Ling Yuxuan took Xiao Wenqing up to bid farewell to his mother, and then walked out of Xinyi Courtyard.

"Wenqing, mother is right, it's time for me to add some new jewelry for you." Ling Yuxuan said, looking at Xiao Wenqing's outfit today.She is combing a wishful bun, with a red coral hairpin on her hairpin, a golden lace phoenix pearl and jade step rock on the top of her head, emerald gold earrings on her ears, a string of pearl necklaces around her neck, and a pearl necklace on her wrists. The pearl bracelet of the same color is elegant yet extravagant.

"Yuxuan, I already have a lot of jewelry, so I don't need to add new ones." Xiao Wenqing smiled.

When she lived in Liu Hanlin's mansion, Mrs. Liu used Yuxuan's money to buy her a lot of jewelry, which were all counted as her dowry.When she got married, her mother spent half of her family property to buy her a dowry; because she was married to the prime minister's son, the entire Xiao family contributed money to do her dowry, and the gentry and local tyrants in Xiling also generously contributed money to her. The hometown girl adds a box.Since she was married into the capital city, it was inconvenient to manage the estate shop, and it was not easy to carry a large dowry. The gifts given by others were basically gold, silver and jewelry.

"Wenqing, women don't think they have too much jewelry." Ling Yuxuan laughed loudly, "You should empty out my money as much as possible, lest I spend it on things I shouldn't, such as..."

His lips pressed against Xiao Wenqing's ear, and he teased, "Little concubine, the housekeeper. Wen Qing, if a man has no money, he can't afford concubines, housemates, and extra children." There are too many children, and the family's expenses are too high, which makes him stretched, and even becomes an official of corruption and bribery.

Xiao Wenqing's cheeks were glowing, and he spat softly: "You can figure it out." Yuxuan is an official of the imperial court, with a generous salary, and a shop with gold and silver land deeds awarded to him by his elders since childhood. If he wants to take a concubine She had no way to object to accepting the room.All she can rely on is his love for her.

"Let's go, let's go back to the room and change into the clothes we went out, put on the silver taels, and go to Baofulou first. If you don't like one, you can choose two for your mother. This is the filial piety of a son and daughter-in-law; Qinglan is going to start preparing the dowry , you choose two sets of suitable jewelry for her; the godmother is usually too plain, so you have to choose two for her; brother Zhao's daughter, you choose some children's golden peanuts, gold bracelets and anklets for her. "Ling Yuxuan said, and realized that he really needed to spend some money.

"Well, I see." Xiao Wenqing said, keeping Ling Yuxuan's words in mind.

The husband and wife put on their go-out clothes, took three maids and four plainclothes guards who put away their knives, and went out in two softwares.They lingered in Baofulou for a long time now, picked out some jewelry, and then asked a plainclothes guard to send some of them back to the house, and took the rest to Zhao's house.

As soon as he arrived at the small sedan chair in front of Zhao's house, Ling Yuxuan heard the cry of the baby inside, and immediately laughed, "It's so loud, I heard it from outside."

"Son, Yuxuan, I heard the cry of the child." Xiao Wenqing urged eagerly after getting off the sedan chair.It was such a familiar crying sound... the crying made her heart throb with pain.

Ling Yuxuan stepped into Zhao's yard quickly, and said in a loud voice: "Godmother, we are here to visit you." Hey, two ropes were newly stretched in the yard, and many diapers were hung on the ropes.When the wind blows, the diaper flutters, quite imposingly.

When the people inside heard the voice from outside, they immediately said, "Aunt Zhao, a guest is here."

Xiao Wenqing heard a familiar voice, and hurriedly said: "Yuxuan, it's Mrs. Xu." She quickly walked past Ling Yuxuan to the well, and said eagerly, "Sister Xu, it's me."

The woman squatting by the well washing diapers raised her head when she heard the words, and immediately said pleasantly, "Wen Qing, it's you, why are you here? Master Ling, why are you here too, isn't it appropriate?" Wen Qing was really kind , Wealthy and rich, we never forget the old people. When we became the wife of an official, I would visit my godmother again and again, give gifts and walk around.

"Sister-in-law Xu, I brought Wenqing here. I'm going to the street later." said Ling Yuxuan who came in behind Xiao Wenqing.Visiting confinement is a matter for women, and it is not easy for men to come here. He sent Wenqing over to say hello, and then went to the street outside after a while, and came later to pick Wenqing back to the mansion.

"Sister-in-law Xu, I'm here to visit my sister-in-law and the baby. Yuxuan sent me here." Xiao Wenqing said, quickly rolled up her wide sleeves, and squatted down to help wash the diaper.

Sister-in-law Xu repeatedly stopped her and said, "Don't, don't wash it. The diaper is too dirty." Didn't Wen Qing see that the water soaked in the diaper was cloudy and yellowish?People who haven't been mothers can't do this kind of thing, because it's disgusting.

"Ma'am, this thing is too dirty, you can't get your hands dirty." The three maids, Crystal Agate and Green Calyx, came over to stop them one after another. First-class maids like them would not touch the baby's diaper, which had feces and urine on it.

"It's okay, just help fetch water and wash the diaper a few more times." Xiao Wenqing said indifferently.Because of the predictive dream, a strong desire often appeared in her heart to hold the child with her own hands, breastfeed the child, and change the diaper for the child.

Seeing Xiao Wenqing reaching into the dirty water to pick up the diaper without hesitation, Ling Yuxuan was embarrassed.Washing diapers is something he has never thought about. Fortunately, this is a woman's job and has nothing to do with his old men.

"Yuxuan, Wenqing, you are here. Oh, Wenqing, don't wash your hands, wash your hands quickly and come and sit down." Aunt Zhao walked out from the main room and saw several young people by the well, and ran over immediately .

Mrs. Xu snatched the diaper from Xiao Wenqing's hand, and urged: "Wenqing, don't be so busy, wash your hands quickly. I'll come here."

She joked: "If you want to wash diapers, when you have a child, you can wash the child." She was also joking, a dignified lady, even if she wanted to do this kind of thing, the elders and servants in the family would not allow it of.
